Burnin' Sky
Template:Short description Template:More citations needed Template:Use British English Template:Use dmy dates Script error: No such module "Unsubst-infobox". Burnin' Sky is the fourth studio album by the English rock band Bad Company. It was released on 3 March 1977.[1] Burnin' Sky was recorded in France at Château d'Hérouville in July and August 1976 with future Rolling Stones engineer Chris Kimsey. Its release was delayed until March 1977 so to not compete with the band's then-current album Run with the Pack.
The album peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard 200 and No. 17 in the UK Albums Chart. The album was remastered and re-released in 1994. The cover is similar to the poster for the 1969 Sam Peckinpah film The Wild Bunch. In the 2000 movie Almost Famous, the fictitious band Stillwater's first T-shirt is strikingly similar to the Burnin' Sky album cover.
Critical reception
Template:Album ratings The New York Times noted the "subtler, quieter approach," writing that "the results sounded oddly somnolent."[2]
