Discoveries - The World of The Who
Comment:
Think you know the Who? As far as we're concerned, you can't know enough; buried deep within the dark recesses of the group's copious catalog are dozens of criminally overlooked masterpieces. You’d have expected the beat-driven delirium of “Whiskey Man” to have flowed from Keith Moon’s Courvoisier-fueled ramblings, but it’s John Entwistle — with his French horn solo adding a delightfully loopy interlude — who shivers and shakes through this bottle-emptying fever dream. While “Love, Reign O’er Me” is Pete Townshend’s “official” theme in [i]Quadrophenia[/i]’s razorblade balance between love and suicide, “Drowned” X-rays into the Who leader’s soul — so much so that he reclaimed its lead vocal from Daltrey and made it a concert staple. And despite a near quarter-century layoff, the band returned triumphant in 2006 with [i]Endless Wire[/i], whose “Tea & Theater,” a grey-whiskered musing on their roller-coaster history, raises a defiant fist in the air, still dangerous after all these years. But don’t stop there: resurrected for your listening pleasure is a career-spanning profusion of prime tracks that you (and most everybody else) missed.
