CAN’T GET ENOUGH – A TRIBUTE TO BAD COMPANY (2025)

Featuring many rock stars influenced by this classic band, “CAN’T GET ENOUGH: A TRIBUTE TO BAD COMPANY“, is the first-ever tribute to Bad Company presented in exclusive at here.

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees and music icons, BAD COMPANY is being celebrated with this star-studded tribute album, with the band’s most iconic songs performed by legendary and contemporary artists from Hard Rock, Country, and Americana – genres deeply influenced by Bad Company – including Joe Elliott and Phil Collen from Def Leppard, Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators, Black Stone Cherry, Halestorm, Hardy, The Pretty Reckless, Blackberry Smoke, and more, offering fresh takes on the band’s classics – recorded and mixed by legend Bob Clearmountain.
Bad Company was founded by Mick Ralphs and Paul Rodgers in 1973. Rodgers and Bad Co. drummer Simon Kirke also appear on the album, bringing the tribute full circle.
“I’ve loved Bad Company since the very beginning, a phenomenal combination of two of my favourite bands, Free & Mott The Hoople, what’s not to love?!” says Joe Elliott. “What a privilege it is for myself & Phil to cover one of my favourite Bad Co songs WITH Paul & Simon playing with us too! Wow!”

Hardy servers an emotional version on opener ‘Ready For Love’, then Rodgers joins Halestorm for an energetic and powerful take on the groovy beat of “Shooting Star.” Sad and beautiful at the same time, this Rodgers-penned composition about a life cut short is brought back to life in an explosive manner, offering something totally different to the drama and slow build-up of the original.

We all know Slash is partial to writing a world-class power ballad, so it’s no surprise he alongside Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators more than do justice to the iconic riffery of the timeless Rodgers/Ralphs composition “Feel Like Makin’ Love.” Slash’s expressive bluesy guitar work marries perfectly with Kennedy’s flawless vocals, as they shift from cradle strumming to the heavier, grittier feel of passion on the chorus.

Blackberry Smoke keep things smokin’ by paying tribute on their take of “Run With The Pack” with respect, authenticity, pure playing chops, and their wall of Southern Rock warmth. Brandon’s keyboards and the melodic guitar harmonies are nearly as much of a treat as the incomparable Rodgers adding the backing vocals to the title track (that he wrote) off their third studio album released in 1976.

The Struts slay “Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy” by rocking up this killer dance number, while awesome young classic rockers Dirty Honey “Rock Steady” in style with a heavy and velvet lead guitar tone that bites the air.
This really is the new school kicking it old school, but Elliott & Phil Collen show there’s still life in the old cats with their moving cover of “Seagull.” If their heartfelt contribution isn’t enough to stir the soul, this acoustical beauty soars to new heights when they’re joined by esteemed company. Kirke flies in on the drums and Collen’s glorious bluesy bends latch onto the wings of the Rodgers voice that remains as rich and effortless as ever.

From Charlie Crockett’s unique country tone and delivery on “Bad Company” to Black Stone Cherry’s heavy rock groove towering over “Burnin’ Sky,” it’s great to hear such a diverse mix of artists keeping the music of one of the finest supergroups fresh in 2025. Like Burrell, Kirke, Ralphs, and Rodgers were in Bad Company, each artist here is a vital ingredient in its success.
With a production quality above the bar for this type of tribute releases, “CAN’T GET ENOUGH – A TRIBUTE TO BAD COMPANY” sounds crisp, wonderful.
