ROGER DALTREY - One Of The Boys (1977)

Roger Daltrey's biggest problem as a solo artist has been his inability to relate his own records to those he makes with the Who. His first two albums were self-conscious attempts to break down his Who identity for a solo persona. The result, especially on "Ride a Rock Horse", was that Daltrey sounded uncomfortable, a stranger at his own session.

"One of the Boys" is a dramatic reversal. Perhaps because it's been so long between Who albums, Daltrey comes on with all the assurance and some of the fire that he can summon up as part of the Who. Even though he still seems to be groping for an identity in his choice of material, there's no question that he's becoming more comfortable with his own records. 1, 2.
