The Way We Were - Volume 1Francis Rossi12 AlbumGenre: RockDescription: Francis Rossi is the founder songwriter guitarist and singer of Status Quo as well as a solo artist. Together with Rick Parfitt he has been part of one of the most successful and iconic duos in rock and roll history for decades. With a career built on remarkable success the music of Status Quo has remained true to its essence over the years. Francis Rossi and Status Quo have often joked about rock and roll being centered around the notorious 'three chords'. However the art and magic of songwriting - along with the quality of the storytelling in the lyrics - have always been a serious matter for Rossi and the band. For this reason Francis has decided to open his home studio archives and share the earliest recordings and songwriting sessions of tracks that would later appear on Status Quo albums or his solo projects. 'The Way We Were Vol. 1' offers a chance to experience how these songs were born - raw sincere and performed straight from the heart without the influence of studio refinement or commercial considerations.
