Nice. saw him live about 30 yrs ago. Been a while lol

Looking forward to this.

I've never disliked anything Robert has done.  Great writer and vocalist.

I'm also hoping his new Bad Company Legacy band with Dave Colwell results in more gigs and an album.  He and Dave write well together.

Mick Ralph's is disabled now, Paul Rodgers has confirmed his retirement from touring...  if Rick Wills and Simon Kirke got involved, it'd be more Bad Company than anything they've done in year's!

Robert Hart is a much-loved British vocalist and has been involved with many top acts over the years such as Manfred Mann’s Earth Band, Bad Company and The Jones Gang. He is also remembered for his fine solo albums, more recently “Pure” which was released by Escape music in 2020.

 

Robert has such a versatile vocal range and can adapt his vocals to many types of rock music, such as AOR, Hard Rock and Blues rock and he has demonstrated this admirably on many occasions since the 1980’s. This is no exception.

 

“Circus Life” also features many musicians and songwriters such as Steve Overland and Steve Morris who actually wrote the songs we have on show here. The style of “Circus Life” is an extension of what Robert gave us for the “Pure” album but this new recording tops even that. We have bags of melody and some excellent musicianship, as you would expect for such a line-up. If you like Bad Company then you are not going to be disappointed with these 12 tracks.

 

Both on CD and limited-edition vinyl this is a fine start to 2024.

Good, solid album. Not too many outright winners for me, but I did like 'The Wrong Side of Love.'
