I love both the song and the album to bits! Great track, one of Ricks best from the last 20/30 years! Unfortunately sucked live big time, really is an album track - the Aquostic version is quite nice, too. Always smile when Ricky goes "Thank you ladies..." |

This thread is good as it's capturing all the oddballs who like this song and album. Means I can deal with you all in one fell swoop.
I'm just kidding! *

Love it. I also loved it live, Andy's harmonica was SO powerful, fantastic! (You had to be there) Let's give Rhino due songwriting credit, he co wrote quite a few with Rick that were popular Can somebody post the radio 2 session version? Bit faster if I remember You can see from this clip that Matt was into it. Such a shame he got bored and left (at least , that's what appears to have happened). Enjoyed the clip, for 2 seconds at the end Quo sound like Purple |

But they didn’t right by the numbers rubbish like this. |

This is a right sleazy, bluesy bar room groove, and as such totally unlike any other Quo song. It's knitted together with a classic old Quo style riff that fits perfectly , "the bastard cousin of don't think is matters", as classic rock put it |

The rhythm guitar riff owes a wee bit to Over The Edge.

Not a favourite in fact I don't like it, but if I made a list of the songs I've liked since NTL it could be a very short list considering the amount of songs produced. "Let's get rid of Spud"...pillocks.

As for liking the blues. Depends what you mean. Good blues is s great thing. Such as Unspoken words. |

One of my faves from that album .
For me it’s got a great riff and it’s bluesy.
Francis doesn’t like it but each to their own.
The Party album is to Heavy Traffic what Thirsty Work was to Rock Til You Drop.
I always found it strange that Francis allowed a third John David song on the album at the expense of one of his one like I Ain’t Ready.
Back to the song in question - my first hearing of it I think was on the Ken Bruce session for Radio 2.
It was one of those instant songs for me.
