Run With the Pack by Bad Company
Run With the Pack is an album by Bad Company, released in 1976. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 23 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Silver Blue And Gold”, on 22 lists with a best position of #43.
Run with the Pack, Bad Company's third album, came out on Swan Song on 30 January 1976, and it's the supergroup riding high: Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke from Free, Mick Ralphs from Mott the Hoople and Boz Burrell from King Crimson, with Led Zeppelin's manager Peter Grant in their corner. They cut it in France in September 1975 on the Rolling Stones Mobile Truck with Ron Nevison engineering, then Eddie Kramer mixed it in Los Angeles.
It's lean, swaggering hard rock with the blues still in its blood, Rodgers singing like he owns the place and Kirke keeping the groove low and heavy. Like the two before it, it climbed into the top five in Britain and America. "Silver Blue and Gold" is the favorite on the countdowns. Even the sleeve broke ranks: Kosh did the art, the only original Bad Company album not dressed by Hipgnosis.
