Thirsty Work marked a return to a harder, heavier sound for Status Quo, a deliberate move away from the more pop-oriented material of previous albums. The album was recorded quickly, with the band reportedly laying down tracks in a matter of weeks.
- Thirsty Work reached number 17 on the UK Albums Chart.
- The album was produced by Dave Edmunds, who had previously worked with the band on their 1987 album, In the Army Now.
- This was the last Status Quo studio album to feature drummer John Coghlan, who had been with the band since its inception.
