Bad Company’s music has always been part of our DNA.” Hale’s respect for the original is matched by Rodgers, whose legendary vocals helped define the sound of Bad Company. He noted that working with Halestorm felt natural, praising their authenticity and energy.
The recording sessions spanned both Nashville and Palm Springs, blending the raw power of classic rock with Halestorm’s modern intensity. The result is a performance that honors the original while giving it a fresh, contemporary edge. Rodgers’ iconic voice interweaving with Hale’s fierce delivery brings the song to life in a way that both respects its roots and gives it a renewed vitality.
