BadCo = Free minus the innovation. With a bit of JJ Cale groove put in to compensate. Ralphs, Burrell and Kirke were all safe players that didn't take chances, Kossoff and Fraser were the opposite. That doesn't leave BadCo without merit. Songwritingwise the second album was even better than the first and for whatever reason, I've always liked their fourth album Burning Sky though it is in effect a Paul Rodgers solo album.
