I paid all my dues so I picked up my shoes, I got up and walked away... Roger Daltrey - Giving It All Away
The Who's lead singer Roger Daltrey released 3 great solo albums in the 1970's:
His first was 1973's Daltrey, an acoustic affair with songs written by Leo Sayer, David Courtney and Adam Faith.
The next was 1975's Ride a Rock Horse, a more R&B sounding record. Russ Ballard contributed several songs for this album including the fantastic Near to Surrender.
The final of the three was released in 1977 and titled One of the Boys. Daltrey brought out some big names on this one including bandmate John Entwistle, Eric Clapton, Rod Argent, Mick Ronson and others. Paul McCartney even wrote the song Giddy for Daltrey. This album sounds more like a Who record than the others.
