Background notes
Archive material and source history
Dave Riley fronted the rock band Straighten It Out, which formed in the late 1970s. Their debut album was self-titled, and a later one shared its name with the song 'Let's Straighten It Out.'
That track came from their second album, which had a more polished sound than their earlier work. The band's lineup changed over time, with Riley staying through those shifts.
Their lyrics and attitude drew some criticism while connecting with listeners who wanted something direct. The music moved from raw beginnings to incorporate different influences as members came and went.
