Simon Kirke of Bad Company celebrates 50 years of the

band’s groundbreaking debut and Straight Shooter albums. As the only

member featured on every Bad Company record, Kirke shares the stories behind

classic tracks like “Feel Like Makin’ Love,” “Shooting Star,” and “All Right

Now.”

He reflects on the band’s formation, recording in Chepstow

Castle, working with Peter Grant of Led Zeppelin, and performing “Whole Lotta

Love” live with John Bonham just weeks before Bonham’s passing. From rock radio

dominance to personal recovery, it’s a raw, insightful look into one of classic

rock’s most enduring legacies.
