180g Vinyl! Dr Feelgood's Wilko Johnson & The Who's Roger Daltrey Join Forces To Release 10 Wilko Originals & Bob Dylan Cover!
Wilko Johnson, legendary guitarist with Canvey Island pub rock pioneers Dr Feelgood, and Roger Daltrey, lead singer of rock giants The Who release a joint album on the world famous chess label which has been resurrected especially for the purpose. The album features a total of 11 tracks, 10 of which are Wilko originals from both his Dr Feelgood days and solo years while one track is a cover version of Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited classic "Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window".
The album mostly features re-makes of vintage Wilko gems, including the Feelgoods' "All Through the city", "Keep It Out of Sight" and "Going Back home" - the latter co-written in 1975 with Johnny Kidd & The Pirates' guitarist Mick Green - plus "Everybody's Carrying A Gun", originally recorded by his post-Feelgoods group The Solid Senders, and the solo '80s rockers "Ice On the Motorway" and "I'm Going To Keep It To Myself". There is also a hidden gem, the heart-wrenching ballad "Turned 21", which has never been properly released or performed live.
"The Canvey Island musician (Wilko Johnson) who had previously enjoyed cult status, is now gaining widespread recognition for his choppy R&B guitar style which influenced a generation of axe-wielders from punk to the present day." - belfasttelegraph.co.uk
