Slash, Halestorm, Blackberry Smoke, Black Stone Cherry, The Struts, Dirty Honey, and several others have come together to contribute covers for an upcoming tribute album honoring Bad Company.
Titled “Can’t Get Enough: A Tribute to Bad Company”, the album is set for release on October 24—just two weeks before Bad Company is officially inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2025. The induction ceremony will take place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, CA.
Bad Company founding members Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke are featured on the album as well. They appear on a new version of “Seagull”, originally the final track on the band’s 1974 debut, alongside Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott and Phil Collen. Rodgers also joins Halestorm for a powerful rendition of “Shooting Star”.
“I’ve loved Bad Company since the very beginning, a phenomenal combination of two of my favourite bands, Free and Mott The Hoople, what’s not to love?!” says Elliott. “What a privilege it is for myself and Phil to cover one of my favourite Bad Company songs with Paul and Simon! Wow!”
“It has been very interesting listening to other musicians interpret our songs,” says Rodgers. “I spent time listening and found myself smiling a lot. I am quietly impressed that these artists wanted to pay tribute to Bad Company. We are thankful that everyone played from every inch of their hearts on this release. You can hear it.”
The first single from “Can’t Get Enough: A Tribute to Bad Company” is a cover of “Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy” by UK rock band The Struts. The track is accompanied by a performance video filmed at producer Bob Clearmountain’s Apogee Studios in Santa Monica, California.
“Can’t Get Enough: A Tribute to Bad Company” is available to pre-order now.
