Francis Rossi & Hannah Rickard 'We Talk Too Much' Official Pre-Listening

________________
Francis Rossi, founder of the mighty Quo, is gearing up for a busy 2019. Rossi, a bona fide musical legend, has confirmed the release of a collaborative album with vocalist Hannah Rickard, a brand new autobiography written with Mick Wall, and a spoken word UK tour that will see him and Wall tour the country discussing his Quo guitarist’s illustrious career and taking questions from fans.

‘We Talk Too Much’ is the title of the album by Rossi / Rickard – the pair met when Hannah Rickard worked with Status Quo on the hugely successful ‘Aquostic’ projects. Reconnecting with one of Rossi’s true loves, this is a collection of Country-flavoured duets and is due for release 15 March 2019 via earMUSIC. Featuring all brand-new material, and boasting writing credits for Rossi and Rickard as well as Quo stalwart Bob Young, this album has been a true labour of love.

The new autobiography, ‘I Talk Too Much’, is to be published by Little, Brown on 14 March 2019. This gripping brand-new book has been created in conjunction with award-winning writer and broadcaster Mick Wall, who has sold more than 1 million books. In this explosive new memoir, the famously indiscreet Rossi reveals the true-life stories behind his unbelievable career. Painfully honest at times, the book covers the glory years, the dark days, the ups and downs of his relationship with the late Rick Parfitt and the real stories behind the creation of some of the greatest rock music of all time.

Rossi will share the extraordinary secrets of his 50-plus years in rock’n’roll when he takes to the stage for an intimate evening at 36 theatres across the UK. Kicking off on 20 March 2019 in Whitley Bay and culminating on 20 May in King’s Lynn, the ‘I Talk Too Much’ tour, will feature Francis - joined by Mick Wall - sharing some of the best Rock ’n’ Roll stories ever, accrued during an extraordinary life on the road. Expect laughter, revelations, tales involving some of the giants of music, exclusive video clips, snatches of classic tunes and a great night out. Rossi said: “This show is something new for me. It will be live and unscripted, so god knows what could happen! One thing's for sure though, it’ll be a white-knuckle ride for me, but fans will get a real unvarnished insight into what’s happened over the years. I’ll be taking a guitar along to demonstrate how some of those Quo classics came into being, and hopefully we’ll take a few questions from the audience too. It’s been quite a journey, there’s a lot to share.”

2019 will be a year like no other: with an album, book and tour, Francis Rossi has truly stretched himself creatively but is also connecting as never before with the loyal fanbase built up over fifty years of creating history with Quo. Honest to a fault and always good company, ‘I Talk Too Much’ is aptly named, don’t miss Francis Rossi spilling the beans as never before!

It’s fantastic to hear Fran enjoying this new venture. The collaboration of voices is just great. There is still a quo influence along with the country. It’s lovely. Quit refreshing.

[eyleenrossi]

[phillipmountford]

I am die hard Quo fan. I love this album. Very country. My favourite track is probably Heartbreaker

[johnnyshill]

This album would do well in the Country Music charts. I think it will divide opinions, this though was never suppose to be a rock album or the usual Rossi/Quo album, this is a stand alone album with more of a country feel, which we all know Rossi has a liking for. Good album for the real fans and fans of country music. That's my long winded way of saying I like this album.

[rhianjones]

[johno]

I was thinking of getting Francis's new book 'I Talk Too Much'. Anyone know if there's much repetition about the old days from his book with Rick from 2004, 'XS All Areas'?

[markwalker]

Sinking in blue sounds very much like that’s the way it goes from the under the influence album

[islamicalevism]

Could be adapted in Happy ending Movies too as soundtracks or in between the scenes .
Great Work , wish you more success .

The second piece.. gone to Madonna.. the "Like A Prayer" album.. from the Carpenters to Abba roaming the group aswith the 4th song with that of an on going course within writing of this text.. with the fift Bon Jovi and Boney M.. thru Sinatra and Alanah Miles..
..
Oh, whatever.. in what way will we always be able to listen to them? However..!!
..
7th song reminds of Scorpions's late70's issues and the 8th Beatles..
..
No..
Why did I all of a sudden thought that there is an immitation issue.. Celebrate you, celebrate.. don't you help.. go on! Who remembers these aswhere when we come to the 9th song? Is it just genre? I think no! Is it some innocent style.. ah yeah, may be really yeah.. but.. what's the new word from within this thorough effort yield? Even metallica sung Remember Tomorrow of Iron Maiden and was truly from within of new speech and word-ups. So what is the matter? Be it the good or the bad issue or even some deeds?

[Blueforyou]

can't understand that he can be satisfied with such a uninspired crap .. he seems to have none musical claim in himself anymore .. it's all 'la la la'...

[Oscartherescuedog]

Horrific. Quo have been this bad since Rockin All Over the World.
