OVER AND OUT

When the awful news broke on Christmas Eve 2016 that legendary rocker Rick Parfitt had passed, fans around the world were devastated that one of rock's most iconicperformers had been silenced. However, unknown to almost anyone, Rick had in fact virtually completed his first solo album whilst undergoing a period of recuperation after his heart attack in July. Featuring 10 brand new songs, including the title track that broke hearts anew when it was played at Rick's funeral, this is an album of depth and passion. Created by Rick Parfitt and Producer Jo Webb, the record is a true labor of love and showcases the softer side of Rick as a writer, artist and performer away from the Quo maelstrom as well as the purest rock and roll sound of earlier Status Quo records. Despite the fact Rick Parfitt had finished recording his guitar and vocal parts, a recording session was planned to happen in February 2017. Certain tracks were not totally finished when Rick died. The call to help ensure that his work could be completed, so that the world could hear it was answered by musicians of the caliber of Queen's Brian May and Muse's Chris Wolstenholme, both of whom were close to Rick. Rick's son, Rick Parfitt Jr, was also involved in the creative process, as were John Rhino mEdwards and Alan Lancaster, among many others and mixed by top producer Ash Howes.??Tracklist?Twinkletoes?Lonesome Road?Over and Out?When I Was Fallin' in Love?Fight for Every Heartbeat?Without You?Long Distance Love?Everybody Knows How to Fly?Lock Myself Away?Halloween
