Album of the Day

Comprised of former members of Free, Mott The Hoople and King Crimson, Bad Company started at the top from its formation some four decades ago. The band's second longplayer, STRAIGHT SHOOTER, rose to #3 on the U.S. album chart and was certified 3x platinum behind the hit singles “Feel Like Makin' Love” and “Good Lovin' Gone Bad” as well as the rock radio staple “Shooting Star.” Released 45 years ago this month, the collection boasts a broader range of instrumentation (including keyboards, acoustic guitars and even some strings) than the group's debut while sacrificing none of its power. The British rockers recently unearthed the original multi-track tapes from their first two albums, and bad never sounded as good as it does on the remastered STRAIGHT SHOOTER.
