Badge & Company-Badge & Company (1977)

Badge & Company is another of those hundreds of one-album bands with little media or commercial impact that flooded the rock scene in the 1970s. Hailing from Augusta, Badge & Company moved within the realm of American roots rock, drawing on Southern sounds like country, Southern rock, and blues. The band consisted of bassist and singer Randy E. Coven, guitarist Terry Williams, and drummer Eugene Martin. In 1977, they released their only album, featuring standout tracks such as the powerful Southern rock anthems "It's A Crying' Shame" and "What A Day The Drive", the country rock anthem "Ship On The Frisco", the rock and roll number "Rockin' n Rollin' ", the psychedelic "Why", the blues rock anthem "Slow Me Down", and the captivating "For You".
