Bad Company's albums were often rather uneven, but this their 1974 debut album is strong almost all the way through, and the group's best offering, alongside "Straight Shooter".
Many of their best and best-known songs are here ("Can't Get Enough", "Ready For Love", "Bad Company" and the best of the lot, "Movin' On"), and "Bad Company" offers 34½ minutes of classic, stripped-down rock n' roll with a bluesy flavour. It may not be particularly original, but it combines good, solid seventies rock music, good musicianship and a great vocalist in former Free frontman Paul Rodgers.
The only "problem" is that the best songs on this album are all on their excellent compilation "10 From 6", but "Bad Company" is still an excellent record and a fine place to start if you're new to the band.
