Although Roger Daltrey was by no means the first member of the Who to take the solo plunge (both John Entwistle and Pete Townshend beat him to the punch), he was the first to make any kind of commercial impact. While "Giving It All Away" peeled off his self-titled debut album to hit the U.K. Top Five, the album itself went Top 50 in America and, almost as an afterthought, introduced the writing talents of the young and then-unknown Leo Sayer to the public at large. Eight months ahead of his own breakthrough hit, "The Show Must Go On," Sayer and writing partner Dave Courtney composed eight of Daltrey's ten tracks; Courtney co-produced the album with Adam Faith, then wrote the remaining pair with Faith himself. Of Sayer's contributions, both "Giving It All Away" and the opening "One Man Band" would subsequently reappear on his own Just a Boy album, itself titled for the chorus line of "Giving It All Away." Daltrey's majestically plaintive rendition remains the definitive version, however, all the more so when linked with the "It's a Hard Life" lament that serves as prelude to the song on Daltrey. Far from the rocking bombast for which the Who were traditionally renowned, but far, too, from the somewhat maudlin melancholy of Pete Townshend's period balladeering, "Giving It All Away" showcases the sheer emotional dynamism that Daltrey was so capable of, a mood that the remainder of the album stretched in any number of directions. From the mock reggae of "The Story So Far" to the achingly fragile "You Are Yourself," Daltrey portrays its maker in colors that the Who could never have emulated -- a sometimes horrifying shock for die-hard fans, but a pleasant surprise for anyone tired of hearing him voice the increasingly dictatorial Townshend's self-aggrandizement. Indeed, the string-haunted "When the Music Stops" could almost be an open letter to his bandmate, just as "One Man Band" should have determined Daltrey's own immediate future. Sadly, however, his solo adventuring would remain just that, something to do between Who projects, with all the sad baggage that implies. There was a time, however, when Daltrey proved himself capable of operating far outside the Who's sphere of influence. And Daltrey still bristles with the pride of that discovery. ~ Dave Thompson

Who mastermind Pete Townshend's strongest solo record was born in a hailstorm of despair, uncertainty, and tribulation. With the once viscerally powerful Who in limbo, the guitarist nearly sunk himself into brandy-drenched oblivion. He emerged with one of his most gripping solo pieces and--perhaps unsurprisingly--the most Who-like album of all his solo work.
Pete plunges into his familiar themes of aging, sexuality, and spiritual decay with fervor, desperation, and commitment. And while EMPTY GLASS does not approach the roaring physicality of the Who at its best, the emotional punch of "Jools and Jim" and "I Am an Animal" is sure to rattle the cage of even the most ardent hard rock devotee. Also of note are Townshend's vocals. Through the entire album, whether on the radio-ready paean to Meher Baba "Let My Love Open the Door," the bracing "Rough Boys," or the sublime "A Little Is Enough," his vocals are hanging on the edge of a cliff, presumably dangling over a certain death.

| | Pete Townshend All The Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes CD (1982) Remastered
Daltrey CD music
$12.79
While Pete Townshend's 1982 solo release, ALL THE BEST COWBOYS HAVE CHINESE EYES, wasn't as stellar as its predecessor (1980's EMPTY GLASS), several tracks easily stand among his best solo work. Townshend had just successfully conquered his life-threatening alcoholism and drug addiction, so CHINESE EYES was the first album in a long time that he did completely sober. Again, Townshend worked with producers Chris Thomas and Bill Price (known for their work with the Sex Pistols and the Pretenders), who give the songs more pop flavor than an expected punk edge. Highlights include the quirky "Face Dances Part Two" (an early MTV favorite), the beautiful yet haunting album-closing "Slit Skirts," "The Sea Refuses No River," and "Somebody Saved Me."
All tracks have been digitally remastered.

| | Pete Townshend Who Came First CD (1972) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Daltrey music CDs
$8.49 
This special edition includes a hardcover book/CD package which contains original artwork, extensive liner notes by Ira Robbins and an article by Pete Townshend.
One of the more introspective and spiritual albums of Who leader Pete Townshend's solo career came at a time when the Who's rock & roll was shaking the earth. WHO CAME FIRST is centered on Townshend's quest for spiritual enlightenment, in this case through the teachings of the famed guru Meher Baba. Those accustomed to the Who's ear-shattering loudness and guitar-smashing violence will no doubt be just as disarmed at the relative peace found in the acoustic-based musings.
Also included, to the delight of Who disciples, are pieces from Townshend's aborted LIFEHOUSE project, which was originally intended for the Who. Surely, "Pure and Easy" is as winning and sublime a song as anything Townshend ever recorded. The Rykodisc reissue staples on a number of unreleased tracks that hold up quite well along with the rest of the album.

| | Pete Townshend White City (A Novel) CD (1985) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Daltrey songs
$12.59
WHITE CITY, which Pete Townshend called a novel, recalls the depth of TOMMY. There are many memorable tracks on this collection, including "Hiding Out," whose deceptive sweetness belies the detached destruction of "Crashing by Design." The bracing "Face the Face" is as musically gripping as any of Townshend's solo work, as is the rumbling "Give Blood." Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour lends on a hand on the former and Big Country drummer Mark Brzezicki puts his walloping stamp on various cuts as well.
After the experimental All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes, Pete Townshend returned to a more traditional form of concept album with White City. Built around a loose narrative concerning urban despair, the album doesn't work very well conceptually, yet a handful of the individual songs are among his finest solo work, including the punchy "Face the Face" and the anthemic "Give Blood." [The CD was also released with a bonus track.] ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

| | Roger Daltrey One Of The Boys CD (1977) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Daltrey album
$13.85
Roger Daltrey called on a wider circle of friends for his third album and came up with a more varied collection of songs, from Steve Gibbons' raucous title track to ex-Zombie Colin Blunstone's country-styled "Single Man's Dilemma." Daltrey also co-wrote three songs with producers David Courtney and Tony Meehan, and Beatle completists should note that Paul McCartney contributed a new song, "Giddy." But the best selections were Andy Pratt's "Avenging Annie," a stirring story-song (and minor U.S. chart entry), and Murray Head's plaintive ballad "Say It Ain't So, Joe," both of which Daltrey sang as effectively as he had any Who song. The backup band included such notables as Who bassist John Entwistle, Wings guitarist Jimmy McCulloch, keyboardist Rod Argent, and special guest guitarists Hank B. Marvin (of The Shadows), Alvin Lee (Ten Years After), Eric Clapton, Andy Fairweather-Low, and Mick Ronson. But Daltrey was never in danger of getting lost in the all-star session. Nevertheless, the album was not treated as a major release and found only modest commercial success. ~ William Ruhlmann

| | Roger Daltrey Ride A Rock Horse CD (1975) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Daltrey CD music
$13.85
By the time Roger Daltrey was ready to make his second solo album, Leo Sayer, upon whom he had relied to provide songs for his first, had launched his own successful singing career and was keeping his material for himself. Daltrey, therefore, called on his producer, Russ Ballard, who wrote three songs, including the chart single "Come And Get Your Love," and one Paul Korda, who wrote another three. On this material, Daltrey took a pop/rock approach, somewhat less aggressive than his work with The Who. He also tossed in some R&B with a cover of Rufus Thomas' "Walking The Dog," and sang in something closer to his actual British accent in the Cockney rave-up "Milk Train." Ride A Rock Horse lacked the overall quality and cohesion of Daltrey, but was still a respectable effort, especially since Daltrey's solo career remained a side issue at this time. ~ William Ruhlmann
While bandmates Pete Townshend and John Entwistle utilized solo careers to pursue notions that wouldn't fit into the overall framework of the Who, Roger Daltrey seemed to use his to follow thoughts that couldn't have fit. But whereas his debut, Daltrey, stands among the finest albums within the group's entire extracurricular catalog, Ride a Rock Horse is simply so bereft of any redeeming qualities that, from the appalling title on down, it is difficult to imagine who it was targeted at. The album opens strongly with '70s rock at its most brash and polished -- "Get Your Love" is a funk-flavored rocker, awash with horns and soulful backing vocals. But, though Daltrey is in fine voice throughout the album, it's all very rock-by-numbers, a far cry from the emotive pastures mapped out by Daltrey, and a reminder that Daltrey is only as strong as whoever he chooses for his musical partner. Leo Sayer, whose songwriting fired that earlier set, was off on his own career tangent now, and neither Russ Ballard nor Paul Korda, who contributed three songs apiece to the new album, seemed able to fill his boots.

| | Paul Westerberg Come Feel Me Tremble CD (2003)
Daltrey songs
$11.79 
Paul Westerberg's COME FEEL ME TREMBLE is a companion album to the documentary of the same name, which follows the legendary Minnesotan singer-songwriter as he records songs in his home studio and tours across the country. These tunes are the result of those home recording sessions, and they continue in the ramshackle yet pop-perfect vein of Westerberg's previous album(s), STEREO/MONO.
The former Replacements frontman gets off to a grimy start with the Stones/Faces stomp of "Dirty Diesel," but he follows by switching gears to the lo-fi pop of "Making Me Go," which recalls his "Dyslexic Heart" from the SINGLES soundtrack. Westerberg also offers up two back-to-back versions of "Crackle & Drag," a nicely landed stunt that reveals two very different songs based on the same theme. Rather than trying to relive his glory days in the 'Mats, our indie-rock hero has found himself at comfortable yet confident point in his solo career--a place that just happens to be his own Minneapolis basement.
New studio album from the ex-Replacements frontman featuring 14 all new tracks. Vagrant. 2003.
| | Roy Hall Rocks CD (2005) (Import) Germany
Daltrey album
$23.99
Who was Roy Hall? Was he the man who discovered Skeeter Davis, Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, and co-wrote "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" in a Florida swamp? Or was he a bullshit artist who made a handful of very obscure but very wonderful records a half-centur
Roy Hall may not be a particularly familiar name in the history of rock & roll, even if he is the songwriter responsible for one of Jerry Lee Lewis' more familiar songs "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On." Over the course of the last 50 years, Lewis' rendition of it has become ubiquitous. Listening to Hall sing his own version of the song, however, will give encourage you to think twice about that. The 2005 release of the songwriter's own recordings, collected on the 110-minute double-disc Roy Rocks, reveals a completely different take of the song: Hall's recording of "Whole Lotta Shakin'" is spectacular. It is slower and more salacious than anything even hinted at in Lewis' version, with no echoes of the better-known singer's hallmark to be heard anywhere. And that's not where the revelatory part of this CD ends. "Diggin' the Boogie" and "Off-Beat Boogie" from 1956 (the latter was unissued until 1984) aren't far behind in what are some of the best rockabilly-style singles to come out of Decca Records in the mid-'50s. The disc opens with Hall's sides for the label and includes his somewhat more loose-limbed and appealing version of Bill Haley's hit "See You Later, Alligator," complete with a refreshingly angular solo by Hank "Sugarfoot" Garland. There's also Hall's rendition of "Blue Suede Shoes," not to mention a handful of originals that aren't bad. There's even a track -- "You Ruined My Blue Suede Shoes," co-authored with Webb Pierce and unreleased at the time -- that uses some of the same lines as Carl Perkins' "Put Your Cat Clothes On." From there, the disc jumps around between Hall's late-'50s sides and back to his earlier records from the end of the '40s, when he was doing country-boogie fronting a group called the Cohutta Mountain Boys. The astonishing aspect of all of these recordings, covering 13 years and several different backing groups, is the consistency of all of it. Hall may not be remembered as one of rock & roll's foundation stones, but he certainly deserves to be based on the recordings here. ~ Bruce Eder
