BURNIN’ SKY is the fourth studio album by the English rock band Bad Company. It was released on 3rd March 1977. BURNIN’ SKY was recorded in France at Château d'Hérouville in July and August 1976. Its release was delayed until March 1977 so to not compete with the band's then-current album Run With The Pack. When it came time for Bad Company to regroup and record a fourth studio album, the band was running on fumes. The years spent relentless touring in support of three hit records had taken a definite toll. The group still had enough gas in the tank to crank out BURNIN’ SKY. Recording the album over the summer of 1976 Bad Company sat on the finished product while previous album, Run With The Pack, continued to rock the U.S. charts. Although BURNIN’ SKY is firmly slotted into the comfortable menace of Anglo blues-rock growl, some credit is due Bad Company for loosening up sufficiently to nudge the limits of hard-rock convention. BURNIN’ SKY does sport a crisp, streamlined sound. The title track lays down all of the comfortable parameters. Mick Ralphs continues to play full, hard chords and simple solo lines, but his rhythm and fills are becoming more sophisticated, while the nearly constant use of a phasing device gives his instrument much more effective bite. "Morning Sun," which follows, provides the usual hard-to-soft contrast with a traditional lament built on an acoustic 12-string figure. A master at the art of the faceless lyric, Paul Rodgers fashions safe little modules of contemporary thought. This functional view of lyrics short-circuits during the album's most perverse track, the jam/dirge "Master Of Ceremony," a two-chord organ-guitar vamp redolent with the inevitable. This sortie is dominated by really embarrassing lyrics on brotherhood and a distorted, meandering sense of phrasing. It is tracks like "Master Of Ceremony" and the charming reggae spoof "Everything I Need" that give BURNIN’ SKY its spark. The humor may seem a bit forced at times, but at least they're trying. For a change, this ready-made star package is giving us some humanity.

Bad Company recorded four classic albums in as many years, giving rise to some of the most recognizable rock songs of the Seventies. After releasing remastered and expanded versions of their first two albums in 2015, the band was return with Expanded Editions of their next albums from that incredible run. BURNIN’ SKY was newly remastered from the original production tapes. It has been expanded with rare and unreleased recordings taken from the original album sessions. The CD version of these Expanded Edition include all of the new bonus tracks. During a rare break from touring, Bad Company got together in France to record new songs. Those sessions produced Run With The Pack, a 10-song album that came out in early 1976. During the summer of 1976, the band returned to France yet again to record 12 songs for what would become BURNIN' SKY. They chose Château d'Hérouville as the studio, which is where David Bowie would record Low later that same year. The BURNIN' SKY: Expanded Edition bonus disc features unreleased versions of nearly every song on the album, including alternative takes and mixes of "Man Needs A Woman" and "Morning Sun," plus the full version of "Too Bad." The session tapes also unearthed "Unfinished Story," a song that was completed, but never released.
