Ma Kelly’s Greasy Spoon

Status Quo

The pivotal pivot from flower-power to denim-clad boogie. Gritty, blues-drenched riffs and a relentless rhythmic shuffle recorded with thick, analog warmth.

August 1970 · PRT

A gritty, transitional energy that trades psychedelic whimsy for heavy, blues-soaked determination.

Moments Worth Listening For
The heavy, distorted blues riff of Juniors Wailing that signals the band's permanent departure from psychedelic pop.
The nine-minute sprawl of Is It Really Me / Gotta Go Home where the band stretches into a proto-jam-band frenzy.
The tight, rhythmic interplay of the twin guitars on Shy Fly that previews their future signature sound.
