Album Review: Wilko Johnson & Roger Daltrey - Going Back Home

Carley Hall

"The no-frills attitude is what makes the title track so much fun: simple blues riffs, honky tonk keys and harmonica."




At this late stage in their respective careers, quietly prolific Dr Feelgood guitarist Wilko Johnson and The Who singer Roger Daltrey banged heads to see what happened. What did is a fun jaunt through the rock of their glory days with Daltrey's voice intact and Johnson's zany lines ever-present. The no-frills attitude is what makes the title track so much fun: simple blues riffs, honky tonk keys and harmonica. The bluesy rock keeps coming but the waltzy Turned 21 and funky Sneaking Suspicion shake things up. Hardly ground-breaking, but an enjoyable romp nonetheless.
