Now is the third studio album by English rock musician Paul Rodgers, of Free and Bad Company fame.[1] It is his second solo work of original material, following 1993's Muddy Water Blues.
The song "Saving Grace" was later re-recorded by Rodgers with Bad Company as one of two new studio recordings on their live album In Concert: Merchants of Cool.
The album was later reissued as a part of 2-CDset, Now & Live, which packaged the album alongside Rodger's 1996 live recording Live: The Loreley Tapes.
