Biography

Status Quo; the English rock band who mastered three chords and stopped at that. There was no need to expand their repertoire, the fans love what they do and have never asked for more than their trademark boogie line. Though they are often lampooned, their material has been adopted by notable peers including Ozzy Osbourne and legendary DJ John Peel.

5.0 out of 5 stars refreshing new Quo, May 17, 2000
By alan benson (Greenacres,FL) - See all my reviews
Quo's album,"Thirsty Work" was the first new Quo album in 4 years and their sound is refreshing but still has that Quo rhythm."Going Nowhere" opens the CD with a nice vitality and is followed by the uptempo "I Didn't Mean It"."Confidence" is certainly one of the best tracks on the album and "Soft In The Head" reaks of the infamous Quo 12 bar."Sheri Don't Fail Me Now" is an obvious choice for the single with it's wonderful melody and"Back On My Feet Again" and "Ciao,Ciao" also are very well-produced with the latter having a middle-eastern flavor to the melody."Restless",an old country tune could have never been done by the old band of the 70's and is one of the slower ballad-type songs as well.I love this CD and play it 2-3 times a week in my car.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pop/Rock Masterpiece from a Legendary Boogie Band, December 29, 2003
By T. Pettit (Portland, OR United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
While I have always admired Status Quo for their consistent ability to deliver hard-driving rock & roll, I enjoyed their early brit-psych period and wondered whether they would ever attempt to update this period with more advanced production and bringing back keyboards in a more important way. Thirsty Work is an un-discovered gem featuring a cross-section of songs (pop-rockers, ballads and of course the signature boogie workouts). This recaptures the sound made famous by bands like The End, Smoke, Badfinger, Ruperts People, The Fox and, of course, early Quo. A dandy CD worth re-issuing with, we hope, bonus tracks from the same session.
