Straight Shot was the band's fourth album originally released on Dark Records in 1988. Rob Castles started out in 1979 as The Rob Cassels Band eventually changed the spelling of their name to Rob Castles at the urging of the record label in time for the release. Despite a name change, the band never lost focus and delivered a knock-out blow with their heaviest rocker to date. This classic rock album has been completely remastered with all new artwork as well as 2 bonus tracks that were recorded in 1986 and 1987 but not added to the original 1988 release.
Straight Shot was reviewed by CCM magazine as "an explosive round of high-caliber rock extolling love, faith, and the peace of God."
The Bonus tracks were recorded in 1986 and 1987 and were originally found on the limited release CDR "Voyagers" which was a compilation project with these 2 new songs, released at the last minute when Rob was heading to Europe for a tour and needed product to sell at his booth.
