With classic rock radio reaching its apex of popularity in the early-’90s, Bad Company issued arguably their best non-Paul Rodgers release, HOLY WATER, in 1990. A surprisingly consistent album, HOLY WATER does a fine job of showcasing singer Brian Howe’s talents (who has no problem alternating between blues, heavy metal, and ballads), as evidenced such standouts as “I Can’t Live Without You” and “100 Miles.” Recorded at Farmyard Studios, Little Chalfont, England. Personnel: Brian Howe (vocals); Terry Thomas (guitar, Hammond b-3 organ, percussion, background vocals); Mick Ralphs (guitar); Simon Kirke (drums); Lee Hart (background vocals). Audio Mixers: Rafe McKenna; Terry Thomas. Recording information: Farmyard Studios, Little Chalfont, England. Bad Company: Simon Kirke (vocals, acoustic guitar, drums); Brian Howe (vocals); Mick Ralphs (guitar) Additional personnel: Terry Thomas (guitar, Hammond organ, percussion, background vocals); Rick Smith (accordion); Felix Krish (bass); Lea Hart, Tim Egan (background vocals).
