5.0 out of 5 stars BACK TO THEIR ROOTS RHYTHM & BLUES ROCK & ROLL/SOUL, January 28, 2002

This review is from: Burnin Sky (Audio CD)

If you liked Paul Rodgers first band FREE, then there's more than enough blues based simple rock & roll on BURNING SKY to satisfy. In fact the song "Like Water" was originally composed by Paul Rodgers band PEACE after the first break-up of FREE. You can find that version of "Like Water" on the UK only box set "FREE - Songs Of Yesterday". If you only like BAD COMPANY's radio singles like "Can't Get Enough" and "Feel Like Makin' Love", then you'll like the song "Burning Sky", but you may not like this entire CD as well as you would like their albums BAD CO. & STRAIGHT SHOOTER. I myself, think this is one of the best albums BAD COMPANY ever did. It contains songs in a simpler blues style and is overall a more mellow listening experience than are their other albums.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great voice, great mood, great album., August 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Burnin Sky (Audio CD)

This is the album that got ignored when they made a compilation of the early Bad Co's best work, so why did it get ignored when it's so good. The title track alone is reason enough to buy this album as it showcases the best aspects of the band and especially Paul Rogers' voice. Knapsack is the only departure from a soul filled album that makes a classic rock fans mouth salivate and drool profusely, and thats only because its a bit of a lark about put in to show the band still had a sense of humour. All Bad Co fans should have it in their collection and its worth a listen for anyone else who appreciates classy rock music.

5.0 out of 5 stars The sky is red, I don't understand !, March 31, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Burnin Sky (Audio CD)

Bad Co., well. If Paul Rogers is not one of the truly great rock singers of the 70's, then nobody is. Burnin' Sky blazes red the sky with plenty of wild tracks, big-size drum beats and huge bass. It is HOT ! The voice of this singer bears some resemblance to that of Sammy Haggar (yes, I know, comparisons are...). Overall, a great disc.
