STRAIGHT SHOOTER is the second studio album by the English hard rock supergroup Bad Company. The album was released on 21st December 1974. It was certified Gold (500,000 units sold) by the Recording Industry Association Of America a month after its release. The album was remastered in 1994. The track "Shooting Star" written by lead singer Paul Rodgers was lyrically inspired by the drug and alcohol-related deaths of guitarist Jimi Hendrix and other rock musicians. Cut straight on the heels of Bad Company's 1974 debut - just a matter of three months later, not quite long enough to know how big a success the first LP would be - STRAIGHT SHOOTER is seemingly cut from the same cloth as its predecessor. It is, after all, a tight collection of eight strong, steady, heavy rockers songs that never, ever proceed in a hurry, but from the moment "Good Lovin' Gone Bad" kicks off the proceedings, it's clear that Bad Company have decided to expand their palette this second time around. Where Bad Company album was stark, minimalist hard rock, STRAIGHT SHOOTER bears lots of different, vibrant colors: acoustic guitars are used for light and shade, guitars are channeled through chorus pedals, pianos and organs alternate with the occasional wash of strings, and the entire thing feels bigger and bolder than before. Sometimes, it is also better: the two big hits, "Feel Like Makin' Love" and "Shooting Star," became classic rock staples due to this expanded aural vocabulary, and even straight-ahead rockers like "Good Lovin' Gone Bad" and "Deal With The Preacher" benefit from this additional muscle, while they feel comfortable enough to settle into a soulful groove on "Anna" and "Call On Me." This dexterity compensates for the occasional stumble - aka, the hamfisted funk-rock of "Wild Fire Woman" - and shows that Bad Company can sound just as powerful and threatening when they're not concentrating on a heavy guitar crunch.

Bad Company returned in 1974 with their sophomore album, STRAIGHT SHOOTER, which built on the successful formula of their debut album while adding some variety in arrangement. The quartet built on their solid rock foundation with the fusion of several types of sub-genres added to the mix. Further, the success of two consecutive albums proved that Bad Company was a solid force in its own right and would remain in the top echelon of rock for years to come. Just three months after the release of the debut month, the group began recording a follow-up album at a remote castle in England using a mobile unit, engineered by Ron Nevison. In contrast to the simple, sometimes stark hard rock of Bad Company, this second album adds much variety with the addition of acoustic guitars, keyboards and occasional strings. Along with the album’s eight tracks, the group recorded a song called, “Whisky Bottle”, which eventually ended up as a B-side to a single. STRAIGHT SHOOTER reached the identical lofty spot of Number Three in the UK, US, and Canada and it was certified Gold within a month of its release. Although slightly less successful than its predecessor, the album has remained an indelible classic for Bad Company four decades after its release. It would seem that the gutsy rock band everyone thought of as Free’s bastard son has come into its own, and powerfully at that. STRAIGHT SHOOTER is a fine example of contemporary rock & roll but, more than that, it is an exciting second step forward by a fledgling band that looks like it may be around for a long time to come.
