Best Bad Company CD without Paul Rodgers.......2006-05-10

Easily this is the best Bad Company CD without Paul Rodgers and better than some of the CDs with Paul Rodgers. It's a shame the follow-up to this album "Stories Untold" (or wahtever it's called) was so bad.

Very great opening three-five tracks.......2006-02-23

The first five tracks are awesome. the rest of the cd is average

Bad Company Returns To Its Roots With A New Singer.......2005-02-14

On COMPANY OF STRANGERS, Bad Company replaces lead singer Brian Howe with the Paul Rodgers-influenced Robert Hart, returns to its roots in the Memphis-Chicago-Texas-St. Louis-Louisiana-Detroit-Philadelphia-Kansas City blues/R&B/soul/rock & roll axis, and releases its best album since 1979's DESOLATION ANGELS. Gone are all the pop affectations of the last five albums, replaced with a raw, dry sound reminiscent of the first three albums and any number of Southern boogie bands. There are numerous great rockers here, but the most riveting moment is the ballad "Little Martha", a sad tale of child mortality that reminds me of seeing children's tombstones while hiking around historical sites to get in shape for my favorite female celebrities. I'd love to ask a cute girl for a dance to this one and the first five with Rodgers, even if this girl doesn't quite fit that "little mold" that others think she should.

Bad Company - 'Company Of Strangers' (Eastwest).......2005-02-08

The very first time I ever heard this CD,I thought that MAYBE Paul Rodgers was back in the band.Okay,THAT-I admit was wishful thinking.New(at the time of this release)vocalist Robert Hart fits in quite well with the long running veteran blues hard hard outfit.Some of the better cuts here include "Where I Belong",the radio friendly "Down,Down,Down","Pretty Women" and the rockin' "Down And Dirty".Too bad Hart didn't last long with the group.I have a feeling the follow-up to this disc could've really been something.I guess we'll never really know.Bad Company had apparently reunited with Rodgers awhile after the tour for this disc.Long live Bad Co.!

DEFINITELY THE BEST BAD COMPANY CD WITHOUT PAUL RODGERS.......2004-12-22

Why they didn't have ROBERT HART in the first place, I really do not understand; however, SIMON KIRKE said both the band and ROBERT were tied up with separate things. Anyway, every song sounds a whole lot like the classics tunes of the original BAD COMPANY. For starters, the acoustic/electric guitar rockin' title track that is written by ROBERT, SIMON, and DAVE COLWELL sounds a whole lot like the 1975 classic FEEL LIKE MAKIN' LOVE, and MICK RALPHS' slide guitar driven GIMME GIMME also sounds a whole lot like his blues driven debut hit CAN'T GET ENOUGH. WHERE I BELONG and LOVING YOU OUT LOUD are excellent piano ballads, and ABANDON AND ALONE is a outstanding ballad/rocker with the distorted vocals, guitar riffs, and FENDER RHODES piano. DOWN AND DIRTY and PRETTY WOMAN sound like MICK RALPHS and DAVE COLWELL are trading lead guitar riffs. CLEARWATER HIGHWAY, DANCE WITH THE DEVIL, and DOWN, DOWN, DOWN are also excellent guitar rock songs while JUDAS MY BROTHER and YOU'RE THE ONLY REASON are also excellent acoustic/electric guitar rock songs. However, I believe the acoustical guitar ballad LITTLE MARTHA that features ROBERT'S calm and low-pitch vocals and the orchestra is the highlight of this cd. RICK WILLS, who has played with PETER FRAMPTON, DAVID GILMOUR, and FOREIGNER is the best bass guitarist with the best sounding bass guitar the band has ever had since they moved on into the 1990s. His FENDER PRECISION bass guitar and AMPEG amp produced a excellent sound that blends in perfectly with BAD COMPANY'S music. I just do not understand why he only last one year with the band when they reformed for the second time in 2001 with PAUL RODGERS. More importantly, he had a whole lot better classic rock style and sound than that JAZ LOCKRIE with that stupid ugly sounding 5 string bass guitar on MERCHANTS OF COOL.
