Ausgangspunkt für diese Neuorientierung war die Zusammenarbeit mit dem australischen Singer-Songwriter Carl Groszmann. In der Folge entwickelten Status Quo ihren ganz eigenen Sound, der mal an krachigen Hard Rock, mal an eher tanzbaren Boogie Rock erinnert. »Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon« stellt so gesehen den Auftankt dar für die Karriere des Quartetts aus London, die bis heute andauert.
The album which more than any other signalled a change of direction for late 60s boy band Status Quo, "Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon", was released in October 1970. Heralded by the wonderful single "Down The Dustpipe", the album featured none of the psychedelic restraint of their previous offerings and saw them break free of their record company's shackles to produce the first of many albums showing their true colours.
The original album consisted of ten tracks, more bluesy and rock oriented than anything previously seen on Status Quo albums. From the mournful ballad "Everything" to the raucous "Shy Fly", from the blues numbers "Spinning Wheel Blues" and "Lazy Poker Blues" to the now classic "Junior's Wailing" and "Is It Really Me / Gotta Go Home". None of the tracks from the album made A-side singles in the UK, but "Everything" and "Lakky Lady" made the B-sides of "Mean Girl" and "Gerdundula" respectively. "Spinning Wheel Blues" was released as a single in Europe though. If the album was not a great source of singles, it provided the standards of early Quo live sets, with "Junior's Wailing" being a permanent feature and the combo of "Is It Really Me" and "Gotta Go Home" being the first of Quo's mammoth live pieces, only surpassed perhaps in later years by "Forty Five Hundred Times".
