Lamentablemente ninguna de las ediciones que pude consultar dice quien toca en cada tema, lo que me impide dar justo crédito. Y sobre toda la instrumentación, la voz de Daltrey, mucho mejor aprovechada que en otros trabajos. Once canciones de parejo nivel, muchas guitarras, tantas como que hay ¡cinco! guitarristas, entre ellos Alvin Lee (Ten Years After), Hank Marvin (The Shadows) y Eric Clapton (no requiere presentación). Tras el rocker “Avenging Annie” viene “The Prisoner”, otra balada bien adornada por guitarra slide. One of the boys abre con “Parade”, una canción llevada adelante con el piano de Rod Argent, para dar paso a “Single Man’s Dilemma”, un tema en una onda country donde Daltrey reflexiona sobre la indecisión, mientras la guitarra slide adorna la melodía, en uno de los mejores temas del álbum. El sonido es más rockero, y eso hace que Daltrey se sienta más cómodo cuando canta, lo que se nota. Esta vez, Daltrey se rodeó de algunas de sus amistades para hacer este disco, y aunque no es lo mejor de lo mejor, hay un resultado superior. Este trabajo representa a mi manera de ver, una mejora respecto al anterior, tanto en sonido como performance. “Summertime Blues” performed better than Cochran’s three other Billboard Hot 100 hits - “Teenage Heaven,” “Something Else,” and “C’Mon Everybody” - none of which reached the top 20.Solo dos años después del álbum de la portada del centauro ( Ride a Rock Horse), Roger Daltrey editó su tercer álbum solista, One of the boys. Eddie Cochran’s version of the track reached No. Townshend was clearly a fan of “Summertime Blues.” The public was as well.
“All those frustrations of summer so wonderfully and so simply, so poetically, put in this incredible package, the package being rock ‘n’ roll.” Did the public like ‘Summertime Blues’ as much as The Who’s Pete Townshend? “But when I hear something like ‘Summertime Blues,’ then I do both, then I’m into rock ‘n’ roll, then I’m into a way of life, into that thing about being that age and being this age and grooving to that thing that he’s talking about which is, like, summertime and, like not being able to get off work early and not being able to get out in the sunshine and not being able to borrow the car because dad’s in a foul mood,” he said. RELATED: How The Who’s Roger Daltrey Reacted to Seeing Led Zeppelin for the 1st Time He compared both of these albums to “Summertime Blues.” On the other hand, Townshend said The Electric Flag’s A Long Time Comin’ was the sort of rock music that made him want to get up and dance. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band as an example of “non-physical” rock music. That’s why there’s no cure for them.”Įlsewhere in the interview, Townshend said rock ‘n’ roll should have a certain bounce to it, however, it doesn’t have to be “physical.” He pointed to The Beatles’ Sgt. “It says everything: don’t have the blues, it’s summertime summertime, you don’t get the blues in summertime!” he added. Given the date of the interview, Townshend was almost certainly referring to Eddie Cochran’s version of the song. “The rock ‘n’ roll songs I like, of course, are songs like ‘Summertime Blues,’ man that’s beautiful,” Townshend said. Pete Townshend of The Who | Richard Stanley/Chris Morphet/Redferns The Who’s Pete Townshend thinks this song about frustration is poeticĭuring a 1968 interview with Rolling Stone, Townshend discussed the sort of rock songs he enjoyed. Here’s a look at the song he liked so much - and how the American public reacted to it. For example, he thought a 1950s rock hit was beautiful and poetic.
