Ye Olde Metal: Bad Company's Desolation Angels

The 2012 Martin Popoff short eBook about Bad Company's Desolation Angels album.


Well, yes, snuck this one in as part of my new Ye Olde Metal "chapter" series although it ain't too heavy. But Bad Company was considered somewhat of a hard rock band back in all of the '70s, and this is the one I connected with the most, Desolation Angels Swan Songing around with in Through The Out Door, both records struck by a certain ennui.


Turns out it's a bit of a band favourite as well, and here's the record's story, as told by Paul Rodgers, Mick Ralphs and Simon Kirke.


This one's particularly packed with pictures, photography courtesy of Rich Galbraith, memorabilia courtesy of my partner in this venture, Chris Pike, clear across in New Zealand, an academic lover of classic rock history just like myself.
