On the Bad Company web site Paul Rodgers talks a bit about what is behind some of the songs the band is famous for, he says their inspiration comes from artists like Cream and Jimi Hendrix with a possible touch of The Beatles. He also says he owes his desire to play to his favorite guitarist, Steve Cropper. Although he doesn’t exactly agree with some reports of the bands sound being a mix of rock, blues, and country, he does say it is possible since he himself is a big fan of the blues so maybe it comes out as he plays.http://www.badcompany.com/bio.html
