Bad Dreams is a studio album by musician Ike Turner released on United Artists Records in 1973.[1] The album cover was illustrated by Mike Salisbury who also created the cover for the Ike & Tina Turner album Live! The World of Ike & Tina.
Reviewing the album in , Robert Christgau wrote:
After twenty years of raking it in from the shadows, he's finally figured out a way of applying his basically comic bass/baritone to rock and roll. Studio-psychedelic New Orleans, echoes of the Band and Dr. John, some brilliant minor r&b mixed in with the dumb stuff. My God—at the moment he's more interesting than Tina.
Bad Dreams was reissued in 2012 by BGO Records on the compilation CD Blues Roots/Bad Dreams.[2]
All tracks written by Ike Turner except where noted.[3]
