imon Kirke  of Bad Company Live on Game Changers With Vicki 

I was Live with Simon Kirke, co-founder of Free and Bad Company, two of the greatest rock bands in history. A huge lifelong fan, it was a thrill to sit down and hear how it all went down, including how Snuffy, a guitar player kinda close to my heart, ended up playing on Free’s Heartbreaker. 

We heard about Simon’s very humble beginnings with neither running water nor electricity, talk about building character, his transistor radio, listening to big bands, pre-Beatles, making his own drumsticks, and finding his way back to London from the countryside with a time limit to make it and joining Paul Kossoff’s Black Cat Bones just under the wire. How they formed Free, All Right Now, the song that made them, and perhaps, destroyed them. The unrelenting touring, and then Kosoff’s unrelenting drugs. How the band evolved before imploding. Ultimately, in part, morphing into Bad Company, one of the greatest straight-up rock bands of all time with Simon co-writing its anthem. He’s the only member of the band to be in every lineup since its inception, including the band’s last tour. We heard about them all. Thrilling!

I so love Simon’s solo effort, All Because of You, written for Maria, his wife of 6  years. Reminiscent of Roger Daltry for me, it’s in heavy rotation in my kitchen.  He’s guested on recordings by Wilson Pickett, Jim Capaldi, and Ron Wood, and has toured with Chuck Berry, Ray Charles, Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, and Ringo Starr & His All-Star Band. The best with the best. We heard great stories about Chuck, Ringo, Peter Frampton, Jack Bruce, Dave Mason, and of course, Kossoff and Rodgers. 

We talked at length about addiction––the drinking, the drugs, the debauchery, some great stories there, and recovery, tried more than once, and how it was too long ago for Kossoff. But, has gratefully stuck for Simon, who is doing much to give back. Simon works with Road Recovery, aiding teens to get and hopefully stay sober, is on the board of a Rehab facility, Right Turn, and is in the process of writing a Rock Opera about recovery with its CEO. 

Simon fears with Paul Rodgers’ health issues, this is the end of Bad Company after 50 years. He’s scored a few films and looks forward to a lot more of that in his future, mirroring another musician turned composer we know who’s fared pretty well. 

They say, be careful meeting your heroes. No worries here. Simon Kirke exceeded all my very high (but sober) hopes, as a person and a rock star. What fun! Can’t Get Enough!

"THE KIND OF STUFF WE WERE PLAYING WAS VERY NEW FOR BRITISH MUSIC..."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on late, great bassist/vocalist/multi-instrmentalist Jack Bruce (1943-2014), photographed with a three-string electric bass guitar during his stint in the British jazz/blues/R&B outfit, the GRAHAM BOND ORGANISATION. Location & photographer: ❓

“There was hardly any R&B scene at the time – we more or less invented it. When we started out we’d be doing venues like The Place in Hanley and the Twisted Wheel in Manchester, these real funky little clubs. The audiences went bananas. The kind of stuff we were playing was very new for British music, as was the intensity.”

-- JACK BRUCE✝ on impact and legacy of the GRAHAM BOND ORGANISATION, via LOUDERSOUND's "Drink, drugs, suicide, and the apocalyptic genius of Graham Bond," by Rob Hughes, October 5, 2018

THE MIKE TAYLOR TRIO Trio. Monster Rare 1967 UK-only 8-track MONO LP on the blue & black Columbia label in the Lansdowne series, one of the ultimate wallet pounding, near mythical British Progressive Jazz releases on many want lists, also starring Jack Bruce or Ron Rubin on Bass & John Hiseman on Drums, unique front laminated flipback picture sleeve. This is a remarkable find & a one previous owner copy - the record sold in such few amounts that finding one at all is a near miracle! The sleeve remains in lovely, clean condition & easily grades Excellent. There is a small name penned to a back corner, the only minor grievance with otherwise beautiful condition allround. Some faint & natural age discolouring is noticeable on some front edges of little consequence. The vinyl is stunning Near Mint, perhaps only ever played once or twice in its lifetime, & still has the static cling commonly associated with a Near Mint vinyl record. One of a kind & highly recommended for the adventurous collector.
