Burnin' Sky is the fourth album by the band Bad Company. It was released in 1977 (see 1977 in music).
Burnin' Sky was recorded in France at Chateau d'Herouville (a/k/a Honky Chateau) in July and August of 1976 with future Rolling Stones engineer Chris Kimsey but its release was delayed until March of 1977 as to not compete with the band's then-current album Run With the Pack.
The album peaked at a disappointing #15 on the Billboard's Pop Albums chart (North America) but was the band's fourth consecutive U.S. Gold certified album.
The album's only single was the title cut which peaked at #78 on the singles chart.
The album was remastered and re-released in 1994.
In the movie Almost Famous, the fictious band Stillwater's first tee shirt is strikingly similar to the Burnin' Sky album cover.
All songs by Paul Rodgers unless otherwise noted.
