The 35th anniversary of Bad Company’s 1979 release, “Desolation Angels”, is featured on this week’s edition of North American rock radio series In The Studio.
The band’s fifth album was a return to form for Bad Company after 1977’s disappointing effort, “Burnin’ Sky”, which followed three consecutive million-sellers in as many years.
After a much needed two-year hiatus, Bad Company re-emerged with their strongest batch of songs since that impressive debut, including the electrifying “Rock’n'Roll Fantasy”, “Evil Wind” and “Crazy Circles” all from Paul Rodgers chronicling life on tour; Boz Burrell’s simple groove on “Gone, Gone, Gone”; and the mid-tempo rocker “Oh Atlanta” from Mick Ralphs.
“Desolation Angels” reached No. 3 on the US Billboard 200 album chart and went on to sell more than 2 million copies in the States.
Paul Rodgers, Mick Ralphs and Simon Kirke join host Redbeard to discuss the project.
