Bad Company: Straight Shooter (Swan Song)

Jaan Uhelszki, Creem, July 1975

Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke from Free, Mick Ralphs from Mott, and Boz Burrell from King Crimson were dulled with discontent and bored with their respective bands. They all needed a new lease on life, and wanted a stab at surmounting the rock mediocrity that the seventies had spawned so far.
