STATUS QUO, the unyielding kings of boogie rock, have now embarked on a bold new acoustic journey with their latest release, Aquostic II: That's A Fact! This album sees the veteran rockers strip down their classic hits to their bare acoustic bones, showcasing a more intimate and stripped-back side to their music.
From the moment that iconic opening riff of "Whatever You Want" kicks in, you can't help but be drawn into the raw emotion and infectious energy that radiates from these reimagined tracks.
Francis Rossi's gravelly vocals are still as powerful as ever, proving that age has only added a richer depth to his delivery.
The real standout moments on this album come when the band dives into unexpected territory, such as their haunting rendition of "Living On An Island" or the poignant "Marguerita Time." These tracks showcase a vulnerability and maturity that we haven't seen from STATUS QUO before, adding a new layer of complexity to their sound.
But fear not, Quo purists, there are still plenty of foot-stomping, head-bobbing moments to be found here.
The rollicking "Caroline" and the energetic "Roll Over Lay Down" are sure to transport you back to the band's classic heyday, while tracks like "In The Army Now" and "In The Army Now" showcase a fresh, acoustic take on these timeless favourites.
Overall, Aquostic II: That's A Fact! is a delightful, unexpected gem from a band that refuses to rest on their laurels.
STATUS QUO may be acoustic now, but their rock 'n' roll spirit is still alive and kicking.
A must-listen for fans old and new.
