This guy makes a great stab at covering Drifting Away from the Quo album...

That's excellent. Really enjoyed that.
It's my least favourite track from the Quo album and it's amazing to hear how good it can be when the rhythm is not over-fuzzed.

Love that. The original and his playing here. Unusual number to cover, hence why it sounds so good. It certainly is not easy to play.

A regular skipper turned in something palatable. Much more of this and I think Quo wouldn't have lasted much longer. On The Level got it back on track.

A silly song for me. Trying too hard at the expense of melody. Much like Don’t think it matters.
I also dislike the guitar sound in the solo
There’s half an album of absolute gems in Quo that said

That’s fantastic. Hadn’t heard that song for a long time and that just reminded me of how awesome Quo were in that iconic era back then. Live, they were even better. What a tough song and how lucky are we, as Quo tragics, to have those albums up to BFY… and maybe stretching it..should throw RAOTW (the reworked album)into the mix, to revisit. Gotta love Quo!!

I love this song, particularly the heavy bass sound they managed to put down. For some reason, it reminds me of the rock n roll stuff The Beatles did (I'm Down / Helter Skelter etc). I'm a bit unusual when it comes to the Quo album though. I'm one of the few people (perhaps the only person) that has no time for Backwater / Just Take Me, although I love the rest of the album. There. I've said it out loud. Sorry.
