Well Oiled
Well Oiled is the fourth studio album from the Quireboys, released in May 2004. It followed This Is Rock 'n' Roll from 2001, the second record the band made after reuniting, and it came out on Soyuz Music. It sits between that comeback and From Tooting to Barking, which arrived the following year.
The reviews were warm and mostly agreed on one thing: the band hadn't changed their approach. AllMusic gave it three and a half stars and found their bluesy, brawling, whiskey-soaked style still firmly in place. Blabbermouth.net scored it 7.5 out of 10, and the Southern Daily Echo summed it up as a case of not fixing what isn't broken. If you like your rock rough-edged and bar-room blues-soaked, it's a good place to catch the reunited Quireboys.
