This was a debut album by a new band of well seasoned musicians...
they were:
Free vocalist Paul Rodgers and drummer Simon Kirke
Mott The Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs
King Crimson, bassist Boz Burrell

1. Can't Get Enough
2. Rock Steady
3. Ready For Love
4. Don't Let Me Down
5. Bad Company
6. The Way I Choose
7. Movin' On
8. Seagull

Paul Rogers released a limited edition bonus disk (The History) with 'Muddy Water Blues' which had remakes of a couple of tracks from this album.... 'Cant Get Enough' and 'Bad Company'. It was a pleasure to hear them reworked with a new generation of great musicians... (there are no notes on the CD for the bonus disk so I dont know who for sure but I think Slash and Jason Bonham play on these tracks... anybody know the full credits?)

Yeah, the above was a BIG album during its day and yes the players came from 3 big bands-hard driving rock and a number of top 40 hits... But if it was up to me, i would instead go after:

In the Court of the Crimson King - King Crimson. The signature tune ranks up there with Zeppelin's best stuff, and this remains one of my favorite songs.

Free - Free. Simple rock at its best. This was one of my favorite groups - not a bad cut on the album.

Moth the Hoople - Mott the Hoople. Again, rock at its best.

King Crimson are an excellent band and in a different league entirely I would say... I dont even think the two bands can be compared... is there a King Crimson thread you could post in instead?? :P :bigsmile:
