iTunes Review
After the stellar success of their self-titled 1974 debut album, Bad Company returned in 1975 with Straight Shooter. Featuring two immediate classics with “Feel Like Makin’ Love” and “Shooting Star,” Straight Shooter continued what seemed like the band’s effortless success. The tunes were natural anthems for the arena rock of the era and were permanent fixtures on FM rock radio. Vocalist Paul Rodgers, formerly of Free, defined the role of the macho hard rock singer with his cheeky swagger leading tracks such as the hard rock R&B of “Good Lovin’ Gone Bad,” “Wild Fire Woman,” and “Deal With the Preacher.” The subdued ballad “Anna” showed the band’s range. “Weep No More” adds some juke-joint piano, but mostly Bad Company focused on the gruff powerchords of former Mott the Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs and the tight rhythms of former Free drummer Simon Kirke and ex-King Crimson bassist Boz Burrell. The band forged an identifiable groove that became the floorplan for many future FM hard rockers.
Customer Reviews
Straight Shooter
I have always thought this album - Bad Co's second - much surpassed the first one, good as that one was. Straight Shooter was harder, louder and Paul Rodgers (let's face it - the virtuoso of the group) literally soared to new heights. Having said that, the band members themselves were no slouches, and their tight and tasty playing prevailed throughout. Only down side? That rock radio, and hence the general listening public, still thinks that 'Feel Like Makin' Love' and 'Shooting Star' were the only songs on the album. Hence, most people have never heard 'Wild Fire Woman', which, next to 'Sweet L'il Sister' from Run With The Pack (another classic ignored by the media), is undoubtably one of the top Paul Rogers studio performances ever. Well, we take what we get, whenever we can get it. Despite Bad Co's 'simplicity', they stand with giants in the rock world. I've downloaded (from iTunes, of course) a live version of 'Deal With The Preacher' that literally must be heard to be believed. Rock on, boys.
Thanks For Giving It To Me "Straight"......
As in "Straight Shooter" which is Bad Co's best album, it has so many gems. Thanks iTunes for FINALLY getting Bad Company on your store. It took so long it was'nt funny. You want to get your first Bad Company album if you're a new fan? Then you can't do better than "Straight Shooter" because this album has 3 Bad Company classics on it. "Good Lovin' Gone Bad" "Feel Like Makin' Love" and of course "Shooter Star" are all great songs. It's a pleasure to have these here at long last for our listening pleasure.
