Just for fun, who do we think wrote Liberty Lane and Cut Me Some Slack?
Liberty Lane doesn’t sound lyrically like Rossi/Young .
I think the devine intervention bit sounds more like Andy.
And there’s a little run musically which reminds me a bit of Rhino’s My Name is Stan.
So, Liberty Lane could be Edwards/Bown
Cut Me Some Slack is definitely Rossi. But...is it Rossi /Young or is it Rossi Edwards?
The confusion lies in that Rhino likes a bit of rocking blues as well.
Is it one of those songs where Francis has the riff and Rhino took it and ran with it?
I’m going to say Rossi/Edwards .
Any thoughts, just for fun ?

Richie in the mix somewhere, possibly?
My missus heard me listening to Liberty Lane and asked me about it. Said it sounded really good and then followed up with, 'it doesn't sound like Quo'. Damning with faint praise!

Erhm .. which new songs ?? I'm gone for just one week and you casually mention new songs .. How many and how do you know in the first place ? Shouldn't there be a thread with links and - hopefully - dozens of happy comments ? Or is it I'm simply looking in the wrong section

Or is it I'm simply looking in the wrong section Swan off on your hols and the best thing to happen to Quo in a long time, happens. You need to go away more often! Well, it was the fourth holiday this year and nothing did happen during the previous three .. Going by the link I assume the songs have been played live, but nothing has been released as yet ? Searched for a gig report and came across this: link Quite some praise, mainly for Francis, but no mention of new songs - if you discard Paper Rain that is . There's a photo gallery at the bottom of the article for those who don't speak German. Setlist.fm has the new set: linkJust compared it to last year's set. I could swear the one on the site is wrong. They did play Backwater and Mystery Song at the Kraftwerk, so MS has been dropped again straight away .. And to answer Cammy's question .. I'd assume both are a mix of various band members with Francis involved in both. Something like R/B/E .. wouldn't know Ritchies style though thus if he's involved.

Cut Me Some Slack: Rhino must be heavily involved here, and yes probably Francis too. ( a mix of Reality Checque, You Never Stop, Solid Gold and some more) Liberty Lane: this could maybe, maybe be Rossi/Young, but I dont think so, rather something by Andy and Rhino.

I'm also wondering who's the producer. Might be Francis himself.

OK, producer is definitely Francis: FR: We, and that includes the various producers, have produced music which we thought should be made under the name of Status Quo. It often sounds really good and is technically better than 70s Quo, but on the whole, they aren't albums which the world, including me, have been waiting for. That's why I want to produce the next Quo album myself. And I want to give the band the freedom to sound as it does and not the way anybody imagines Quo 2019 or 2020.The Backbone snippet doesn't sound like Mike Paxman. I'd prefer Pip Williams, but Francis is a happy medium. quocupsncafe.proboards.com/thread/6648/francis-interviews-goodtimes-eclipsed

It did make me wonder which sound they'd be aiming for. Certainly not like any previous Quo incarnation. And obviously all band members got their say. Usually people mellow with age .. Now the average age has been lowered considerably, so maybe that's why what we got to hear so far sounds quite heavy ? It's all speculation naturally and we certainly need the whole album to judge. Francis will probably have used his resident engineer Gregg Jackman (?) but I doubt Paxo or Pip will be involved. In so far it'll be like way back when - the band looking for the sound they want and producing themselves. Interesting .. .

Francis produced both Rock 'til You Drop and Thirsty Work if I remember correctly. Night and day to say the least. So who knows what the album will sound like. Quo I hope As for the writers of the new songs we've heard, Liberty Lane sounds obscure enough and clever enough lyrically to me to have Andy's input. Cut Me Some Slack seems trickier. It's similarity to Solid Gold would suggest Rossi/Young. I'd certainly imagine Rossi/A N Other. Anyone listened to the very small snippet on the official website? Two nice chords then morphing into a quirky sort of tempo, which I'm not yet enthusiastic about. Title track maybe?

Thank you Such a pleasure to see here old Quo fellows (and graemlins!) from SQMB! I actually registered here in October 2016, but somehow stayed away from the board all this time until yesterday. As for the producer, Francis wasn't satisfied with Mike Paxman's production in recent times, especially on TPAOY, that's why the band brought Pip back for 4th Chord. But Mike Paxman was probably more Rick's/Rhino's man than Francis, he produced most non-Rossi songs on QPQ and Francis did his ones himself (except Two Way Traffic and Dust To Gold co-penned with Rhino). Bula Quo new tracks were mostly produced by Francis and Rick (who actually did a pretty good job). So I hardly could believe Francis without Rick would hire Mike Paxman. Having said that, I've long thought that at some point in the past Quo should have invested into hiring some high profile rock producer. But that's a different story.

And Rossi/Edwards songs, although relatively rare, usually turn out to be rather splendid. Modern classics in fact. There's further information on the album (including the songwriters) on the official website. There are song credits for both "Malone" and "Cave" as well as regular contributor, John David Nice one

Mike Paxman had moved the band away from the keyboard intrusive sound that had crept in. Personally, I was very glad about that. And Pip Williams used the keys in a very different way, filling the sound rather than have them drive the main riff. But it's hard to know what to expect given that Andy plays geetar on the live versions of the two new songs we've heard. The speculation is fun though. For sad old Quo fans like me anyway

Just received an official e-mail about the new album. There are two bonus tracks on the digipak CD; one is called Crazy Crazy and the other one Face The Music. Wasn't that an ELO album? Both of these tracks also come in 7" vinyl. The album is available in all manner of formats; vinyl, red vinyl, pic disc, free t-shirts. I think even more than the usual marketing. As you can see.... statusquo.tmstor.es/This is going to cost me a small fortune!

As you can see.... statusquo.tmstor.es/This is going to cost me a small fortune! Make up your mind and choose the one you can't live without ! Ok, maybe one vinyl too for the collection. You gotta learn how to best deal with your collectors addiction .. . Agree about Rossi/Edwards songs (with or without Bown involved as well). Usually something really good comes of that collaboration and something that doesn't sound like Quo by numbers either (something Rossi/Young don't always achieve). But what was Rhino complaining about then ? Btw. Backwater was in the set last summer and it did sound surprisingly good ! It was the first gig ever that I not only didn't mind Rhino singing, but thought he sounded good. Mystery Song was in the set too - instead of Rain - and I do mind (a lot !) that they have been exchanged again. And give me Paper Plane any day over SBYBIL ( ) !

I know. I admit it; I'm an addict I think Rhino was maybe just putting us off the scent, although we certainly didn't even ask the question. Cammy the Morton Fan asked Francis about a new album at the signing session for the book and his response was " Who told you about that? Oh, must have been Clutsy" (which is his nickname for Rhino - it means sort of clumsy). But he was very non-committal. I guess it should have been a bit more of a secret until it was officially announced. They do seem to like to play their cards close to their chests within the inner sanctum. Not sure why. We won't hold them legally to anything! I'm just glad the album is coming out and the fact that I'd convinced myself there wasn't one has made the anticipation all the greater. I think Rhino really wanted Never Too Old To Rock And Roll included and was maybe disappointed that it hasn't been. It'll just have to go on Rhino's Revenge III then. Suits me.

Never Too Old would have served two purposes.
Firstly it would have been a great addition to the album.
Secondly , it would have been great live as it ticked a couple of boxes. It would have given Rhino something else to sing , giving Francis a rest plus it’s an easy song for the crowd to pick up with a call and response straight away so it would have gone down well.
A bit of a missed opportunity from Francis
