Paul Rodgers has written and released many a hit, both with his band's Free and Bad Company, and now, thanks to a new compilation album, you can get all those classic tunes on one CD. It’s aptly called The Very Best of Free and Bad Company Featuring Paul Rodgers and boasts 15 tracks including “Can’t Get Enough,” “Rock N Roll Fantasy” and “All Right Now.” There will also be an exclusive iTunes deluxe version that boasts bonus material from his band The Firm with Jimmy Page, The Law and Paul’s Solo recordings.
It all comes out on March 29th, but the CD will only be available overseas.

Melodic Rock Festival # 2 - Reminder


Now doesn't this look like a great US gig?!
Wish I could go, unfortunately we have prior commitments, but I strongly recommend this event to everyone that loves good rock music.
We went to the first one 3 years back and it was a great event and most of the bands are willing to mix it up with the crowd before the show.
It really is a great vibe event.
