Recorded 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 it's predecessor. It is, after all, a tight collection of eight strong, steady, heavy rockers 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, writes AllMusic. The album, released in April 1975, reached No. 3 on both the U.K. Albums Chart and the U.S. Billboard 200. It was certified gold (500,000 units sold) by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) a month after it's release. The jacket for the album was designed by Hipgnosis, who also designed their debut album. 'Good Lovin' Gone Bad,' was released in March 1975 and reached No. 36 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album was released in April. The album's final single 'Feel like Makin' Love' was released in August and reached No. 10 on the Hot 100. '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.'
