Legendary rocker Paul Rodgers, best known as the frontman for the bands Free and Bad Company, has opened up about a health crisis that almost robbed him of his ability to sing. The singer and songwriter who has been making music for five decades had kept his struggle a secret — until now.

Several years ago, Rodgers suffered 11 minor strokes and two major strokes, leaving him without the ability to speak.
“I couldn’t do anything to be honest,” Rodgers said. “I couldn’t speak. That was the very strange thing. You know, I’d prepare something in my mind and I’d say it, but that isn’t what came out and I’d go, ‘What the heck did I just say?’”

Sun Records’ Marketing team members Laura Pochodylo (Marketing Manager), Adrienne Kelley (Social Media Manager), Olivia DeMasters (Marketing Manager), and  Meghann Wright (Director of Marketing), as well as Gaither Music team member Melissa Chambers (Head of Production), and Primary Wave’s Emmie Chambers (Production Operations Manager) were recently interviewed for Women In Vinyl!

How are you “Living It Up” this Summer?

There are harmonies from Todd Rundgren on the majestically Dylanesque Don’t Tread On Me, there’s a track featuring, impossibly, Taylor Hawkins, Billy Bob Thornton and Billy Gibbons, and there is the epic Angel, a ballad as good as anything Hunter has ever done, with the haunting line: ‘When we move, I hope we go to your place.’ Nobody but Hunter has the power, at this point in their career, to sound so fresh, so new and so exciting.
