roger daltrey / albums

Roger Daltrey's second solo album, Ride a Rock Horse, 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. Although the remainder of the album is very rock-by-numbers, Daltrey is in fine voice throughout. Leo Sayer's songwriting fired the singer's solo debut, Daltrey (which stands among the finest albums within the Who's entire extracurricular catalog), and with Sayer off on his own career tangent now, Russ Ballard and Paul Korda contributed three songs apiece to the new album. The remastered reissue adds two bonus tracks to the original album, the "Dear John" B-side and an alternate version of the Phillip Goodhand-Tait ballad "Oceans Away." ~ Dave Thompson, Rovi
