English Rock

I don't know if I'll have time to listen to this today, because I have company; my lawyer cousin, her lawyer husband, and their teenage son are visiting Hawai'i for the first time since my Dad's funeral (10 years ago this week). Nonetheless, (and this is no commentary on my cousin and her family!), a little Bad Company sounds like fun. The band was another in a long list of supergroups (see CSN, Cream, Derek and the Dominos, etc.). Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke came from Free, Boz Burrell from King Crimson, and Mick Ralphs from Mott the Hoople. This was the first and by far the best album the group released (although the compilation album 10 from 6 might be as good, since it contains half of this album as well). It's more-or-less definitive guitar rock, with power chords from Ralphs and growling vocals from Rodgers.

hmmmm:
Derek and The Dominoes:"Layla"..
I can still hear that song in my head (earworms!).
It used to be so popular when I hit the night spots..brings back memories..not good ones at that...just the smell of someone's cigarette smoke in my hair and mouth...horrible...
