Album Notes & Community Reviews

For his inaugural solo venture, The Who's iconic frontman enlisted a young Leo Sayer and David Courtney as his primary songwriters, stepping away from the conceptual weight of Pete Townshend's material. The resulting record is a lushly orchestrated, highly melodic collection of pop-rock and introspective piano ballads that highlight Daltrey's vocal versatility. The project successfully established him as a capable, sensitive interpreter outside the confines of his legendary band.
