PAUL RODGERS: I saw an advertisement, an amazing ad for a movie called Bad Company with Jeff Bridges [1972 "acid cowboy" movie, with Barry Brown as the other lead]. I had not seen the movie, I just saw the advertisement in the newspaper. He’s a desperado, and he’s riding alone, and there was a gun — elongated into the "o", and shooting through Bad Company. So just imagine that. And I thought, "Wow! What a great name for a song! "
It was the first album released on Led Zeppelins Swan Song Records label. This is an uncompromising album, reflecting the wills as much as the talents of the participants, and it’s all the more impressive in light of the fact that it was recorded immediately after the group’s formation. The stylistic rigidness of Bad Co. may prevent the band from becoming a supergroup right off the bat, but the album’s raw strengths will surely draw diehard rock & roll listeners. With upgraded material — perhaps including non-originals — more stylistic daring of the sort displayed on "Don’t Let Me Down" and the maturation of the already rewarding relationship between Rodgers and Ralphs, Bad Company could become a tremendous band.
The album was included in the book 1001 ALBUMS YOU MUST HEAR BEFORE YOU DIE.
