There's nothing like a new Quo recording to make me remember how I appreciated the old ones.
After listening to some of the Backbone tracks, I just skipped on to my earliest moment when I began to think those Status Quo people had something. "Make me stay a bit longer."
OK. They are just scrubbing the guitars, but it sounds wonderful. If sounds like they mean it. It's a pop song, but Fran/Mike sings it like he means it. When it leaves the minor and flips into the major, which is where most so/so songs normally lose me, it gets STRONGER. The vocal harmony bit never loses the drive, and when they get to the last verse, they DOUBLE THE RHYTHM.
If they really knew how they did this, maybe they would do it more often. They clearly don't and didn't.
Pass me my hanky. I'm going to take an emotional break by going to the supermarket ...
