One of today’s most authentic and fast-rising voices in Americana and country music, Charley Crockett has released his rendition of the classic “Bad Company” (written by Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke) from the forthcoming tribute album Can’t Get Enough: A Tribute to Bad Company, out October 24, 2025 on Primary Wave Music.

Outlaw country troubadour Charley Crockett brings grit, soul, and swagger to his cover of “Bad Company.” Known for his genre-blending style that fuses vintage country, blues, and Americana, Crockett delivers a haunting and heartfelt interpretation that feels both timeless and unmistakably his own. With a voice steeped in storytelling and defiance, his version taps into the song’s renegade spirit, reimagining it through the lens of the American West and his own life experiences: playing pawn-shop guitars on the streets of New Orleans, hitchhiking, and riding freight trains north until he found himself busking on the streets of New York in 2009.

“What a song. Never imagined I’d be asked to cut a Bad Company tune, especially this one,” says Crockett. “I grew up cranking the volume anytime it was on a classic rock station in Texas. Still do. It’s an untouchable and timeless song. I only hope I can do it some justice.”

Produced by Grammy Award-winner Shooter Jennings (Brandi Carlile, Tanya Tucker) alongside Crockett at Sunset Sound Studios Los Angeles, the track also features legendary bassist Darryl Jones (The Rolling Stones, Miles Davis, Sting), who brings his iconic groove to the recording.
