James Gang - Straight Shooter - 1972 - ABC Records - Rock - Vinyl LP/Record Album - Used

Released in 1972, Straight Shooter marks a fascinating turning point for the James Gang as they transitioned into a new era following the departure of Joe Walsh. This fourth studio album features the debut of guitarist Domenic Troiano and vocalist Roy Kenner, who brought a fresh blend of hard rock, funk, and soulful ballads to the band's established sound. Recorded at the legendary Quadrafonic Sound Studios in Nashville, the record showcases tight instrumentation and diverse songwriting, ranging from the driving energy of Madness and Kick Back Man to the melodic, string-accompanied introspection of Getting Old.

The album is housed in a distinctive embossed gatefold-style jacket featuring intricate western-themed artwork of a longhorn, reinforcing the rugged, straight-ahead rock aesthetic the band was known for. Published by Pamco Music and Straight Shooter Music under the ABC Records label, this LP remains a vital piece of 1970s rock history, documenting the resilience of a band that continued to chart and evolve during one of music's most competitive decades. Whether you are a fan of classic guitar riffs or the soulful vocal delivery of the early 70s, this record is a quintessential addition to any serious vinyl collection.
