About this album

Burnin' Sky finds Bad Company leaning into a darker, more reflective strain of hard rock without losing the punch that made them a major arena act. Issued in 1977, the album was the band’s fourth studio release and followed a run of highly successful early records, with Paul Rodgers’ forceful vocals, Mick Ralphs’ guitar work and the group’s taut rhythm section driving the sound. The title track, along with songs such as Morning Sun and Passing Time, shows a band broadening its approach while keeping the riffs heavy and the melodies direct. It remains an important part of Bad Company’s late-1970s catalogue.
