Although the only original members on Holy Water are guitarist Mick Ralphs and drummer Simon Kirke, the band does a fair job of approximating the sound of classic Bad Company while adding enough elements of '80s pop-metal to make the record appealing to teenagers who grew up on power ballads. And the band does turn in a first-rate power ballad with \"If You Needed Somebody,\" which rose all the way to number 16 on the singles chart. Surprisingly, that was one of three hits from the album -- \"Holy Water\" and \"Walk Through Fire\" also received a fair amount of airplay. What that success signals is not a creative rebirth for Bad Company, but that the group knew how to follow a formula very well. Holy Water hasn't aged as well as their original hit albums -- instead of the clean, ballsy attack of Bad Company and Straight Shooter, it's awash in echo and synths -- but it is a finely crafted, big-budget record of the late '80s and early '90s. It's just as indicative of its era as Bad Company is. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Music On CD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47405998866721,"sku":"8718627233849","price":2690.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/8718627233849.jpg?v=1699285523","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/8718627233849","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
