Naha thought that, with their second album, Bad Company was proving that they would not end up like Mott the Hoople, Free, or King Crimson-bands that Bad Company's members used to be part of. Įd Naha's feeling of the album, as stated in Rolling Stone magazine, was much more favourable than Christgau's. Robert Christgau felt that although Straight Shooter was better than its predecessor, it should not be labelled hard rock because Paul Rodgers did not have a strong voice, which is needed to be a rock singer. Gautam Baksi's review of the album for Allmusic said that the album's popularity was attributed to the acoustic ballads "Shooting Star" and "Feel like Makin' Love", while the two songs written by Simon Kirke-"Anna" and "Weep No More"-as well as the album not having enough supporting songs and follow-up singles, were what made the album less successful than its predecessor. Straight Shooter received different reviews from different music critics. Critical reception Professional ratings Review scores The album's final single " Feel like Makin' Love" was released in August and reached No. The first single from the album, " Good Lovin' Gone Bad", was released in March 1975 and reached No. The sleeve for the album was designed by Hipgnosis, who also designed their debut album. Sometime later Nevison mixed the songs for Straight Shooter at Air Studios in London. Three months later, the band and recording engineer Ron Nevison recorded at least eight songs at Clearwell Castle in Gloucestershire, England. In June 1974, Bad Company released their self-titled debut album. 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. The album was remastered and re-released in 1994. It was certified gold (500,000 units sold) by the Recording Industry Association of America a month after its release. The album reached number 3 on both the UK Albums Chart and the US Billboard 200. The album was released on April 2, 1975, a month after the release of the album's first single, " Good Lovin' Gone Bad", and four months before the second single, " Feel Like Makin' Love" (see 1975 in music). Straight Shooter is the second studio album by the English hard rock supergroup Bad Company.
