Status Quo – Under The Influence

Status Quo – Under The Influence

Released in 1999, Under The Influence finds Status Quo delivering a confident return to their trademark guitar-driven boogie rock sound. Packed with energetic riffs, catchy choruses and the unmistakable chemistry between Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt, the album captures the band in fine form as they approached the new millennium.

The record combines hard-driving rockers with melodic moments, featuring standout tracks such as “Twenty Wild Horses,” “Under The Influence,” “Little White Lies,” and “The Way It Goes.” The album also includes a spirited cover of Buddy Holly's “Not Fade Away,” reflecting the classic rock and roll influences that have always been at the heart of Status Quo's music.

Blending polished production with the band's familiar no-nonsense approach, Under The Influence is a strong late-career release that showcases why Status Quo remained one of Britain's most enduring and beloved rock acts.
