Commercial Success Leads To Disappointing Release

""Couldn't Get It Right" got it right commercially for the CBB. However, for many of their fans, this album was a huge letdown because it lacked many of the blues and progressive elements of previous releases. Disco was becoming popular during this time and was taking up much of the radio airwaves. Unfortunately, to some, this impacted the direction CBB would take. Gone (for the most part) are the blistering lead guitar licks of Peter Haycock. Enter more of the funky, disco rhythms and sax of Colin Cooper. For those who like the older CBB material, "Rollin' Home", which is quite good, and possibly, "Extra", are worth noting. The rest is less notable and par for the course, radio friendly muck, that isn't so "Sav'ry" for my taste."
I love this album

"i love this album. i first bought it in 1977 when i was 10 years old. i would listen to it all the time. i remember listening to it when i'd come home from being at the swimming pool and i would set the little speaker from the stereo outside the door and crank it up! it brings back memories. my favorite songs are chasing change(i like the bass), together and free, mighty fire, savry gravy, and of course couldn't get it right. i highly recommend it!"
