Bloody Well Right Cover: The Low Darts Tackle Supertramp

A jazzy electric-piano riff struts in alone, cool and a little cocky, and owns the spotlight before the full band arrives. That introduction marks Bloody Well Right as pure Supertramp.

The Low Darts seize that moment. This five-piece band plays classic rock, pop, and soul from the 1970s and 1980s, filmed live, and Colman Connolly fronts the group on keys, guitar, and lead vocals. Their cover leans into the swagger that makes the song memorable.

Return to Crime of the Century

Supertramp released Bloody Well Right on their 1974 album Crime of the Century. Rick Davies opened the track with a memorable, jazzy figure on the Wurlitzer electric piano, an instrument whose bright tone and biting distortion became a signature of the band’s sound. Saxophone and a punchy rhythm section fill out the arrangement.

The song shifts gears more than once. A loose, jazzy intro gives way to a hard-edged rock groove, and the band has to sell both feels in a single take.

Master the Wurlitzer and the attitude

A tight band has to nail the keyboard part first. The Wurlitzer riff carries the song’s identity, so the player needs the right touch and tone, then the whole group must lock the transition from jazzy intro to driving rock without losing momentum.

Colman thrives in that role. As a trained piano accompanist and an audio-production student at MTSU, he understands the Wurlitzer’s voice and the timing that makes the intro land. He arranges the band to honor every gear change, the same craft heard across the band Colman Connolly fronts.

The performance shows a young group handling a progressive-rock favorite with both precision and personality. Supertramp gave the world more than one classic, and you can hear the band tackle another in more Low Darts live covers.

That keyboard fluency comes straight from Colman Connolly’s musical roots behind the piano.
