"Holy Water" gave Bad Company's ninth album both its title and its first single in June 1990, on the third record the English hard rock band made with Brian Howe out front. Howe wrote it with Terry Thomas, and Thomas is all over it: he produced, co-mixed with Rafe McKenna, plays guitar, Hammond organ and percussion, and sings backup alongside Lea Hart. Mick Ralphs is the other guitarist, with Felix Krish on bass and Simon Kirke on drums.
It spent two weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Album Rock Tracks chart that summer, while the band was out touring America with Damn Yankees.
