Now is the third studio album by English rock musician Paul Rodgers, of Free and Bad Company fame. It is his second solo work of wholly original material, following 1993's covers album 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. Jaz Lochrie plays bass on both recordings.
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.
