Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following the farewell tour of The Who, the iconic frontman assembled a diverse group of musicians, including Ian Dury's Blockheads, for his fifth solo effort. 'Parting Should Be Painless' relies heavily on polished production and synthesizers, attempting to align his classic rock voice with contemporary mid-eighties pop trends. It serves as a personal reflection on his highly publicized divorce during a transitional period in his career.
