A New Sound From A Classic Band.......2007-05-12

This CD gets a bad rap because most people that hear it are hoping to hear the 'classic' bad company sound like on 'feel like makin' love' or 'shooting star' so if you are looking for that sound you won't find it here
however you will find a great album!

I was very surprised when I picked this up
because it sounds a lot like Survivor (in my opinion) which is a great thing as I'm a fan of that band as well...
this is the only release from the band that sounds like that because the next one they released finds the keyboards all but removed and has a whole new sound (and a sound they would stick to for four albums in a row)
but fame and fortune is a great CD and is actually one of my favorites from this band
songs like 'burning up' and 'hold on my heart' and 'that girl' and 'this love' really rock
the year was 1986 and this is the sound that was huge on the radio
unfortunately for Bad Company this didn't really hit nearly as huge as it should have

the upside - some really great and catchy tunes in the style of Night Ranger and Survivor...the best songs are 'that girl' 'this love' and 'burning up'

the downside - definitely don't buy this if your hoping for the 'classic' Bad Company sound but if you are just looking for great music this is a great album...

the bottom line - if you love Survivor you'll love this CD...this is a really solid Bad Company release that deserves a listen...donutman says so!!!

I am a fan of the Brian Howe years of Bad Company. I own every cd of his Bad Company years. However, I don't think this is his best cd. I prefer Holy Water or Here Comes Trouble. That does not mean that this is a bad(no pun intended) cd. I like it and am glad that he took over as lead sing for Bad Company on this one.

Fame and Fortune.......2005-01-17

The First album with Brian Howe replacing Paul Rodgers the music fits in with the 80s sound lots of keyboards few guitar rockers but old fans will like the title track this album gets alot of mixed views one being the horrible cover (what were they thinking???) but if you love the Holy Water era Bad Company give this a listen

love song extraordinaire.......2003-01-08

"When We Made Love" is in my mind, easily one of the best love songs to come from any band in the 80's.

Not the Hard Rockin Bad Company - But Great Rock Pop/Ballads.......2002-04-25

Check out the song "This Love" - it's a great rock ballad. The other reviewers must be mourning the loss of the "old Bad Company." This album had at least 2 songs that had a lot of air play when it was released.

Bad...Company????.......2006-10-27

Well yeah, there you go: The first Bad Company album released by the reformed Bad Company. Released in 1986, the album features original members Mick Ralphs (Guitar) and Simon Kirke (Drums), with the addition of new frontman Brian Howe (formerly of Ted Nugent's band) substituting for original singer Paul Rodgers. While original bassist Boz Burrell appears credited as part of the lineup, a closer inspection of the liner notes reveals that session player Steve Price plays on the album, so it is unknown how much playing Burrell actually does. Many people complain with the usual "if it's not the original lineup, is not BC..." kind of thing... but the truth is that this lineup managed to produce some great music (reaching a moderate success with later albums) too. Some other people criticize the change in vocalists, and some even go as far as to accuse the band of choosing a "Richard Marx" (author of the late 80's fluffy, piano ballad "Right Here Waiting") clone. I got news for you: Brian Howe had already sung on Nugent's "Penetrator" album in 1984, which is at least a good 3 years before Marx's debut album and rise to fame, so if any one copied any one, it was Marx (I personally don't think so. People can actually sound like somebody else naturally, you know...).

This one is their first release after 3 years in hiatus, and the band sounds very different from its previous incarnation. Some of the elements of the last two BC records (Desolation Angels and Rough Diamonds) remain, such as the increased experimentation with keyboards/synthesizers, but for the most part, it is a departure from the traditional BC sound, which was very rooted in blues, country and a little R&B. "Fame and Fortune" is a (deliberate, if you ask me) move towards modernizing the band's sound to make it fit with what was being made in rock at the time. Instead of trying to compete with "hair metal", BC decided to explore the confines of AOR, producing rock that could appeal to adult listeners (possibly their long time fans) while at the same time tackling a younger (predominantly female) audience.

Consequently, the album features more synthesizer use than ever before, as well as some sax solos, which ultimately create a sound that can easily remind you of bands like Journey, Foreigner or even Toto. And there is a very simple explanation for that: the album was produced by Foreigner producer Keith Olsen, and Foreigner's very own Mick Jones serves as executive producer and co-writer of several tracks. These influences are most evident on tracks such as "This Love" (featuring both extensive use of synths and sax), "Tell it like it is", "Valerie", "Hold on my heart" and "When we made love". The opening track, "Burning Up" is probably the one that comes closest to the band's trademark sound, even though it also features prominent synths. "Fame and Fortune", "That Girl", "Long Walk" and "If I'm sleeping" are other tracks where, keyboards and other refinements notwithstanding, the bands sounds closer to their early sound.

Now, don't get judgmental just yet: yes, I admit it, both the synths and the sax threw me off a little on a first listen, but they really don't take away from the quality of the music. Sure, there's nothing groundbreaking here, but I think that it ultimately is a fine effort from a band that was trying to find its identity in a new decade with a new frontman. While this record failed to make much of an impression on fans and critics alike, I believe that it was the stepping stone necessary in their career, essentially doing all groundwork for their future success. Just to give you an idea: the keyboards aren't nearly as distracting as they were on Van Halen's "1984" (the most universally known record to feature synths), and they are more akin to the ones featured on Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" or "Faithfully", meaning that you'll hear them for sure, but they won't distract you from the song, as many of the synth-heavy records of that age tend to do nowadays. So, if you like the music and the sound of all those bands that I mentioned, you might wanna pick this one up. On the other hand, if you're more into the classic BC sound, this CD may not be the one for you. And finally, if you, like me, are one of those late BC fans that discovered the band around this time (I was born in '78, so I missed their glory days...), you'll probably appreciate this one.

Freshmen Effort For Sure.......2006-02-14

I can't really say anything good about this CD except that later two great albums came from Bad Company with Brian Howe as lead vocalist. "Dangerous Age" and "Holy Water."

The album is packed with raw creativity with songs like Club Bangin' & Thug Pledge, etc. Tino is a pioneer because he's not afraid to venture in unknown territory on songs like Paparazzi & Intoxication. Now for those who really understand Southern Rap music...this is a collector's item!!!

So much greater than silver and gold.......2004-08-16

This Elvis fan club CD features alternate takes of songs recorded in Nashville between March 1960 and March 1961. These were the sessions for the Elvis is Back, His Hand in Mine, and Something for Everybody albums. These were some of Elvis' best recording sessions. The March 1961 session wasn't quite as good as the 1960 sessions, but it was still very good. Hardcore Elvis fans should really dig this.

Something nice for the fan-historian-musician.......2004-04-11

Here are 27 more quality outtakes with the focus on the Nashville (non-soundtrack) sessions from 1960 to 1961. The material is mostly 'A'; the singing is outstanding. Elvis' range during that period was amazing: from bass to falsetto, from blues to opera, etc.
There are only perhaps five or six tracks which could have been issued originally, as none are as strong as the familiar cuts, but "Make Me Know It" is equally as entertaining and longer than the '60 release; "It's Now Or Never" has a more powerful ending note; "The Girl Of My Best Friend", though too slow, is otherwise solid and features a throughly committed vocal; "Milky White Way" is certainly comparable; "Starting Today" is another fine example of his new near-falsetto ballad style.
This CD is a natural companion to the Ernst Jorgensen book on Elvis' sessions.
