Our Take

Ah, John Entwistle - the legendary bassist of The Who, known for his thunderous low-end and quirky personality. Rarities Oxhumed - Volume 2 is a treasure trove of hidden gems that showcases Entwistle's virtuosity and creativity beyond his work with the iconic rock band.

The album kicks off with "Mad Dog," a bluesy number that sees Entwistle's bass work take center stage, showcasing his dexterity and precision. The track oozes with swagger and attitude, making it a standout on the album.

"Autumn Jam" is a delightfully funky tune that sees Entwistle experimenting with different sounds and textures. The bassline is infectious, driving the track forward with a pulsating energy that is impossible to resist.

On "Lovebird," Entwistle showcases his softer side with a beautiful ballad that tugs at the heartstrings. His vocals are emotive and heartfelt, adding a layer of vulnerability to the song that is truly captivating.

Overall, Rarities Oxhumed - Volume 2 is a must-listen for any fan of John Entwistle or The Who. It's a testament to his talent and versatility as a musician, and a reminder of the indelible mark he left on the world of rock music. So sit back, crank up the volume, and let the magic of John Entwistle wash over you.

About the artist

John Entwistle

John Entwistle, the legendary bassist for The Who, was known for his thunderous basslines and eccentric stage presence. With a career spanning over four decades, Entwistle established himself as one of the greatest rock bassists of all time. Born in Chiswick, London in 1944, Entwistle learned to play the trumpet before switching to bass guitar in his teens. His unique playing style, characterized by intricate finger work and a powerful tone, set him apart from his contemporaries. Entwistle's contributions to The Who's sound were immeasurable, with his basslines providing the backbone for classic songs such as "My Generation" and "Baba O'Riley." His virtuosic playing earned him the nickname "The Ox," a fitting moniker for a musician of his stature. Offstage, Entwistle was known for his dry wit and dark sense of humor. His love of black comedy and macabre subjects often found their way into his songwriting, adding a layer of depth to The Who's music. Tragically, Entwistle passed away in 2002 at the age of 57. His legacy lives on through his music, which continues to inspire generations of musicians. John Entwistle's impact on the music world cannot be overstated. With his unparalleled skill and larger-than-life persona, he carved out a place for himself in rock history that will never be forgotten. The Ox may have left us, but his music will always remain.
