"Under the Influence" is the twenty-third studio album by the English rock band Status Quo, released in March 1999. This album marked the band's return to their classic 12-bar boogie and hard rock sound, but still retained elements of the production and songwriting approach used on their previous pop-oriented material.
The album was produced by Mike Paxman who has worked with artists like Uriah Heep and Judie Tzuke. The album's most significant track is probably ‘Twenty wild horses’, the only Quo standard on this disc that was released as a UK single which didn't go top 10.
Other prominent songs from the album include "Under The Influence", "Little White Lies", and "Keep 'Em Coming". The album reached No. 26 in the UK Albums Chart, which was a significant improvement compared to their previous album's performance.
The album received positive reviews from critics and fans alike, with appreciation pointed towards the band's skillful musicianship and energetic performances.
