Bad Company Tribute Album in the Works

The recently unveiled tribute album, *Can’t Get Enough: A Tribute to Bad Company*, heralds a musical homage to the legendary rock band Bad Company. Marked for release on October 24 by Primary Wave Music, the album celebrates the band's enduring influence ahead of their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction on November 8, 2025. This milestone event will take place in Los Angeles, solidifying Bad Company's place in rock history. Featuring an eclectic mix of rock's veteran names and contemporary stars, the tribute album intricately balances reverence and innovation. Among the acclaimed artists participating are The Struts, HARDY, The Pretty Reckless, and members of Def Leppard, orchestrating a collection of covers that not only honors Bad Company's legacy but introduces its music to a new generation of fans.

Paul Rodgers, the iconic frontman, noted his delight and surprise at the interpretations of Bad Company's songs by other artists. He expressed admiration for the diverse lineup contributing to the album, each bringing a unique flair while staying true to the soul of the original music. Describing the project as a labor of love, Rodgers highlighted the depth and emotional investment each contributing artist brought to the album, a sentiment echoed by his bandmate, Simon Kirke. Rodgers and Kirke, integral members of Bad Company, also lent their talent to several tracks, notably “Seagull,” performed with Joe Elliott and Phil Collen of Def Leppard. This collaborative spirit continues with Rodgers joining Halestorm on “Shooting Star” and performing alongside Blackberry Smoke on “Run with the Pack.”

The extensive album lineup includes tracks like “Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy” by The Struts, a piece that initially piqued public interest when released as a limited vinyl for Record Store Day. Additionally, the album features Slash with Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators on “Feel Like Makin' Love,” and a rendition of “All Right Now” by The Pretty Reckless, a nod to Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke’s earlier days with the band Free. This track listing demonstrates how Bad Company's sound has transcended decades, influencing multiple music genres from rock to country.

The album's conceptualization came from Primary Wave's longtime collaboration with Rodgers, aimed at amplifying the band's prestigious music catalog. This tribute album signifies the start of various initiatives planned by Primary Wave to further Bad Company's legacy, synergizing past successes with contemporary interpretations. The project’s creative execution involved over a year of meticulous coordination and production, spearheaded by Primary Wave executives Robert Dippold, Adam Lowenberg, and Gary Spivack. Their goal was not only to create a commemorative album but to ignite a revitalized interest in Bad Company within today's music trends.

The album is available in multiple formats including digital, CD, and limited-edition silver vinyl, ensuring old fans and new listeners can enjoy it across preferred platforms. These efforts reflect the timeless appeal of Bad Company's music, characterized by its raw energy and enduring rock anthems. By bridging generational gaps through this tribute, *Can’t Get Enough* becomes not just a musical offering but a phenomenon honoring the band's deep-seated influence on rock music. The tribute album thus sets the stage for new fans to discover and cherish the timeless allure of Bad Company, solidifying their status as pioneers who continue to inspire and resonate with audiences worldwide.
