Bad Company – Burnin’ Sky

NEW VINYL LP ON WB 2017

2 X 180 GRAM VINYL.

The string finally ran out for Bad Company with their fourth album, Burnin’ Sky. Their approach was so simple that it almost inevitably became formulaic, and although Mick Ralphs continued to screech with his sparse guitar leads and Paul Rodgers continued to present his lust in a soulful voice — well, one had heard it all before several times by now. A band that begins life declaring “I can’t get enough of your love” doesn’t really have anywhere to go, and by this, their fourth album, Bad Company were getting sloppy around the edges, tossing in a ’50s pastiche in “Everything I Need,” crooning “The Happy Wanderer” as if they were on a drunken pub crawl.
