5. Now (1997)

“The set opens with Little Bit of Love and keeps soaring from there, with Paul giving an inspired rendition of Be My Friend, in my opinion, Free’s most underrated song. The middle section has a definite blues vibe with stirring takes of Louisiana Blues, Muddy Water Blues, Rolling Stone and I’m Ready. The first cd, Now, of original material has some really nice songs. Soul of Love, which was a minor hit, starts it off nicely.”

4. Electric (2000)

“The songs here are great vehicles for his voice. He is no poet. But, he is a melodicism with a good sense of emotional lyrics, a great band both here and on the road.  I dont think this album is inferior to the classics except that this type of music does not headline around the world and sell like it used to, but is a very worthy record to tack on to you Bad Company collection.”

3. Cut Loose (1983)

“From the opening rocker, “Fragile”, to the wind-in-your-hair vibe of the title track, to the anti-war “Live in Peace” to the message of love, “Sweet Sensation”, this is simply a better and more diverse collection of tunes than I’ve heard from any other album featuring Paul Rodgers, and I’ve heard most of them.”

2. The Royal Sessions (2014)

“I think The Royal Sessions may be the best sounding record I’ve heard in years. Paul Rodgers has the voice, the tone, the chops, the artistry to pull you inside standards like “I’ve Got Dreams To Remember” and make you not only a believer but make you feel like you’ve never heard the song before. And there is a long list of great singers who’ve signed their names to it, but you just go dammann! I won’t go song for song with my praise of this wonderfully inspired offering but do yourself a favor and buy this now!”

1. Muddy Water Blues (1993)

“Forget Free and laterly Queen, this is Paul Rogers tribute to the blues.its all about the Rogers voice and classic blues sung his way. Some versions you’ll love, some you’ll like and maybe one indifferent, but on the whole few people will sing these covers better except Muddy himself.”
