My spouse and I are retired. About 100 years ago, this was "OUR" favorite 'record'. We still have it and longed to hear it. With the CD, we now listen again and enjoy it even more. WE are thrilled !

Historically, there have been very few albums in my collection that are a WOW from start to finish, and this is definitely among those sainted few. Upon its release, I played this album until it sounded like bacon frying, so I was quite grateful to find it on CD! It holds up just as well now as it did back in those days of post-Tommy cinematic frenzy, with Roger roaring one moment and then muting into charming choir boy mode, exactly as to be expected from this most versatile of vocalists. "Get Your Love" blazes open this outing, leading right into my personal favorite track as Roger testifies his way through "Heart's Right." There's some very soulful wailing delivered on the gorgeous "Near To Surrender" and the rooster-strutting "Proud," returning Roger to his earlier days as the soul-singing Mod icon. For a lighter mood, there's some giddy fare with "World Over" and "Walking The Dog." A budding actor on the screen at the time, Daltrey provided the type of performance Who fans were already well familiar with on "Milk Train," his charming Cockney delivery aiding to endear the plight of the beleaguered songster this tune presents to us. And as if there had been any doubt that Roger could be an acceptable romantic crooner after years of selling Pete Townshend's more practical songs, we get both the lovely "Oceans Away" (which I recall him performing quite effectively on television), and a perfect closure with the lilting, melancholy "Born To Sing Your Song." The extra tracks are a nice touch, but I didn't need them to augment what was already a perfect album. He's the best he is at what he does: he's Roger Daltrey! Recognize!

This is easily my favorite of the Daltry solo projects. Roger clearly demonstrates his talents as a versitile vocalist. Unlike so many other musician's solo projects, Roger doesn't just rip off the band for a "quick buck." Nor does he try to make some statement like, "I am the Who!" He simply released some "soulful rock" that came from within. He was even able to come up with some commercial tracks to please the "suits," thereby ensuring future solo projects. My favorite tracks are,"Come and Get Your Love," and "Hearts Right." Pick this one up, you'll be glad you did.
