Paul Rodgers enjoyed the most mainstream attention he'd had in years in 2005 when he surprisingly united with Queen for a successful tour. Rodgers is simply one of the greatest singers (and songwriters) rock & roll has ever produced, yet thanks to his work with Free and Bad Company, millions know his voice but probably not his name or face. He likely prefers it that way, but in a popular-music world where substance should rule over style yet does so less and less, he deserves as much recognition as he can get. (Why Free, the influential band responsible for the immortal "All Right Now," has not been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as of 2007 is beyond comprehension.) Rodgers' excellent DVD, Live in Glasgow, which is also available on CD, covers the highlights of his remarkable career. Unlike many of his "classic rock" peers, Rodgers' voice has held up phenomenally well; in fact, it really hasn't lost any of its power or range. Live in Glasgow was filmed on October 13, 2006, at Clyde Auditorium in Glasgow, Scotland, on Rodgers' sold-out U.K. tour. The singer/songwriter/guitarist/pianist is backed by a smoking four-piece band including his longtime lead guitarist Howard Leese (a Heart alumnus), 17-year-old lead guitarist Kurtis Dengler, bass guitarist Lynn Sorensen, and Collective Soul drummer Ryan Hoyle. The 17 songs on Live in Glasgow lean heavily toward Rodgers' work with Free. The best Free songs here include "I'll Be Creepin'," "Be My Friend," "Fire and Water," "Wishing Well," "All Right Now," and "The Hunter" (Free by way of Albert King and Booker T. & the MG's). The Bad Company hit parade is represented by "Feel Like Makin' Love," "Bad Company," "Can't Get Enough," and "Seagull." The Firm, Rodgers' two-album, mid-'80s project with Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, is acknowledged by a performance of "Radioactive," the group's sole Top 40 hit. A Muddy Waters cover ("Louisiana Blues") is included, which is not surprising since Rodgers released a tribute album, Muddy Water Blues, in 1993. The new original song, "Warboys (A Prayer for Peace)," shows that Rodgers has not lost his creative spark. Bonus features include rehearsal footage, interviews with Rodgers, the band, and fans as well as Rodgers' son, Steven W. Rodgers, performing an enjoyable song called "Sunrise" while serving as the opening act in Glasgow. The DVD booklet, which is packed with photos and quotes, is a nice touch. Some DVD packages seem to skimp on the booklets these days, if they include one at all. Rodgers' music is the epitome of timeless, blues-tinged rock & roll, and Live in Glasgow impressively reinforces his legend. ~ Bret Adams, All Music Guide

Active Decade: '90s
Born: Dec 17, 1949 in Middlesbrough, England
Genre: Rock
Styles: Blues-Rock, Hard Rock
In a career that now spans four decades, vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter Paul Rodgers and his various groups have sold in excess of 125 million records around the world. Best known for his expressive vocals on songs that have become rock & roll staples, like "All Right Now," "Feel Like Makin' Love," "Can't Get Enough," and "Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy," Rodgers has been cited by dozens of 1970s and '80s rock groups and musicians as a major influence. U.S. groups like the Black Crowes and Guns N' Roses have cited Rodgers and his various groups -- Free, Bad Company, the Firm, the Law -- as an influence on their styles. As a vocalist and songwriter, Rodgers had great admiration and respect for the classic African-American blues and R&B vocalists. Rodgers credits his father for buying him a guitar in his youth, but he later taught himself bass and piano as well. He began writing songs when he was in his early teens, before he had mastered any instrument.
Rodgers began playing out in clubs around Middlesborough, in northern England, when he was 13, taking singers like Rod Stewart as his role models. Right after he left school, he set out for London in a van with a band called the Roadrunners. The van broke down en route, and while the other members hitchhiked back north, Rodgers went south to London. After a short time he returned home to his parents, who were supportive of his musical endeavors. But having seen the club scene in London, he became determined to go back and make his mark there.
Returning to London, he formed the blues band Brown Sugar, deciding to see how far he could go as a vocalist, songwriter, and guitarist. In the mid- and late '60s, London was in the midst of a huge blues revival, and Rodgers had the opportunity to see Muddy Waters and dozens of other American blues musicians perform at London's Marquee Club and other blues and R&B venues. Seeing Waters live had a lasting effect on Rodgers, and his early experiments, Brown Sugar and Free, started out as blues bands.
Rodgers was working with Brown Sugar when guitarist Paul Kossoff heard him sing. Kossoff was so impressed with Rodgers' voice that the two decided to create a new band, joined by Simon Kirke on drums and bassist Andy Fraser. After seeing them at the Nags Head Pub in Battersea, Britain's godfather of blues, Alexis Korner, suggested they call themselves Free. A song Rodgers co-wrote with Fraser, "All Right Now," hit number one in 20 territories around the world in 1970. The song remains a rock staple, having been entered into ASCAP's "One Million" airplay singles club. By the early '70s, Free was one of the biggest-selling British blues-rock groups; by the time the band dissolved in 1973, they had achieved an uncanny level of superstar success: they had sold more than 20 million albums around the world and had played more than 700 arena and festival concerts.
In 1973, Rodgers formed Bad Company, then a prototype "supergroup," with King Crimson bassist Boz Burrell, Mott the Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs, and Free drummer Simon Kirke. But this time, Rodgers learned from the mistakes he'd made with Free; he was determined to have bandmates who shared his musical vision -- the overnight success that Free experienced put undue pressures on the personalities in the band. Rodgers contacted Peter Grant, Led Zeppelin's notorious manager, who was fortuitously starting Swan Song Records, the group's vanity label. By the close of the 1970s, Bad Company had recorded six multi-platinum albums, which spurred classic blues-rock and rock staples like "Can't Get Enough," "Feel Like Makin' Love," "Shooting Star," and "Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy." By the time Bad Company called it quits, they had played to over ten million people around the world and sold 30 million albums.
Other highlights of Rodgers' career include a showstopping version of Otis Redding's "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay" at Atlantic Records' 40th anniversary party at Madison Square Garden in 1988, and his formation of a new group with Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin, the Firm, in the mid-'80s. Following that band's two albums, Rodgers formed the Law with former Small FacesWho drummer Kenny Jones.
Since the early '80s, Rodgers has also released a number of solo albums. They include Cut Loose (1983) and The Morning After the Night Before/Northwind (1984), both for Atlantic Records. His 1990s output includes Muddy Water Blues: A Tribute to Muddy Waters (1993, Victory Records) and The Hendrix Set, a mini-CD released that same year. Muddy Water Blues was nominated for a Grammy and features guest performances by Slash, Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi, Jeff Beck, Steve Miller, Buddy Guy, and Pink Floyd's David Gilmour. Rodgers then put together a backing band featuring guitarist Geoff Whitehorn, bassist Jaz Lochrie, and drummer Jim Copley, recording Paul Rodgers Live (1996) and Paul Rodgers Now (1997) for the New York-based Velvel Records.
After a Bad Company reunion in 1999, Rodgers switched over to CMC International, issuing the album Electric in 2000. Taking a break from his solo career in the middle of the decade, Rodgers joined Brian May and Roger Taylor in a version of Queen for some live shows, one of which was documented on 2005's Return of the Champions, a double disc on the Hollywood label. In 2007 Eagle Rock Entertainment released a new solo album, Live in Glasgow, taken from a October 13, 2006, concert at Clyde Auditorium in Scotland. Released on both CD and DVD, it highlighted both Bad Company and Free material, some of which Rodgers hadn't performed in 35 years.
