About "Ain't Complaining"
Ain't Complaining is the eighteenth studio album by British rock band Status Quo. Initially released on the Vertigo label on 6 June 1988, it was the group's first album on that label to fall short of the UK Top 10, breaking a streak of 12 studio albums in the process. It reached no higher than its entry position of No. 12. The band, however, reentered the Top 10 just three years later with Rock 'Til You Drop in 1991.
Ain't Complaining spawned three singles: the title track, the ballad "Who Gets the Love?" and the only Top 10 hit among them, the jaunty "Burning Bridges", which partially incorporated the melody of the traditional folk song "Darby Kelly" within its distinctive instrumental breaks, without crediting it as such. John Edwards and Jeff Rich contributed compositions for the first time since joining Quo. "Another Shipwreck" had originally been a solo track by Andy Bown from his 1978 solo album Good Advice and was released as a single with him singing lead vocals. On Ain't Complaining, Rossi sings the song.
An unusual move by Status Quo on this album was the use and endorsement of Charvel guitars.
"The music was too polite," Rick Parfitt later remarked of the album. "There was no weight behind what we were doing. The edge had gone; we weren't real anymore."
