In this episode of The Quo-Cast, Jamie Dyer discusses the upcoming album by Francis Rossi, The Way We Were Vol 2. Much like the first volume released in 2025, this collection brings together 17 demos recorded in the 2000s.

Many of which would go on to be worked on for Status Quo albums Heavy Traffic, The Party Ain't Over Yet, In Search of the Fourth Chord and Quid Pro Quo. Also, tracks were later utilised for Francis Rossi's solo projects One Step at a Time and Rossi/Rickard's We Talk Too Much.

The album will be released via earMUSIC on the 25th of September 2026 on CD, 2LP and Digital platforms.

We’re halfway through 2026, and despite the band no longer touring as a single entity, the world of Status Quo feels busier than ever. In this episode of The Quo-Cast, I’m looking at the patterns emerging from the first half of the year and what they tell us about the future of the Quo legacy.

From Francis Rossi’s surprise album The Accidental to the long-awaited release of the full Hammersmith ’79 gig, we’ve had a massive start to the year. I also dive into the various solo paths the members are taking, including Rhino’s Revenge, the Richie Malone Band, and John Coghlan’s "Quo Re-imagined."
