Bad Company – Straight Shooter (1975)
Relive the definitive sound of 70s arena rock with Straight Shooter, the multi-platinum second album from the ultimate rock supergroup, Bad Company. Following up their massive debut, this record solidified the band’s reputation for lean, muscular riffs and the soulful, powerhouse vocals of Paul Rodgers.
Recorded at Clearwell Castle using the Ronnie Lane Mobile Studio, the album captures a raw, live-in-the-room energy that became the blueprint for hard rock. It is a seamless blend of heavy hitters and melodic ballads, showcasing the tight chemistry between Rodgers, Mick Ralphs, Simon Kirke, and Boz Burrell.
