Description
ROGER DALTREY’s new studio album ‘As Long as I Have You’ — his tenth as a solo artist — hits that era of early Who influences, but Daltrey has the taste to cover much of the past 60 years of pop music with surprising picks. His pair of original tunes fit well. Pete Townshend shows up for over two-thirds of the disc, yet it remains mostly un-Who-like, a distinctly Daltrey affair, and he makes the most of it. While his primary group was noticeably smashing instruments and perfecting arena bombast, Daltrey was surreptitiously working on his craft as a vocalist, with a clear increase in his artistry as a singer.
