There is also a hidden gem, the heart-wrenching ballad Turned 21, which has never been properly released or performed live. 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". Feelgood Guitarist Who Influenced the Punk Movement, Dead at 75 Johnson, who was initially diagnosed with terminal cancer a decade ago, also played. The album features at 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". Wilko is a genuine original in a music business sadly lacking in such these days.Wilko Johnson, legendary guitarist with Canvey Island pub rock pioneers Dr Feelgood, and Roger Daltrey, lead singer of rock giants The Who will release a joint album on March 24th on the world famous Chess label which has been resurrected especially for the purpose. They play it with a passion that really grips you. It reminds me a little of "The Original Blues Band Bootleg Album" - in that it's a bunch of white English guys that grew up in the 50s and 60s listening to black American R&B and falling in love with the music. But now I've heard it I know it will certainly stand up to repeated listening. Basically I bought it to put a few more bob on Wilko's pocket for his hopefully extended old age. Going Back Home Track by Wilko Johnson & Roger Daltrey taken from the album of the same name released in 2014. I even thought before buying it, and hearing it, that it would be one to listen to once and then keep on the shelf. Was a bit worried when I heard about this collaboration because I just couldn't picture Daltrey's voice working with the material - to me he has a rock voice, not an R&B one - but I was pleasantly surprised to hear it does. Guys like them are what music is all about in that they do it for the sheer love even after the fame has passed. Sadly never saw the Feelgoods in the Wilko era but have seen Wilko a few times live over the last 10 - 15 years playing small pub venues supported by the equally legendary Norman Watt-Roy on bass. because your foot will be tapping so hard you may aggravate your condition.
