Album Notes & Community Reviews

Accompanied by close friend Joe Walsh on lead guitar, The Who's legendary bassist delivers his fifth solo record. The album leans heavily into polished, melodic hard rock and AOR aesthetics, allowing the artist to step into the spotlight with his distinctively dark humor and robust vocal performances[cite: 1].
