Our Take

In a collaboration that feels as surprising as finding a tenner in your pocket, Pete Townshend teams up with Ronnie Lane for "Rough Mix (Half Speed Master)". This reissue of the 1977 classic is like the musical equivalent of discovering a hidden gem at your local charity shop - unexpected, charming, and oh-so British.

Townshend, known for his wild antics with The Who, shows a more mellow side on this album, allowing Lane's folk-rock sensibilities to shine through. The result is a delightful blend of rock, folk, and a generous dose of quirky British humour.

From the laid-back groove of "My Baby Gives It Away" to the introspective beauty of "Heart to Hang Onto", Townshend and Lane take us on a musical journey that feels like a leisurely stroll through the English countryside. Each track is a little musical vignette, capturing moments of joy, melancholy, and everything in between.

The Half Speed Master treatment gives the album a new sheen, allowing each instrument and vocal nuance to be heard with crystal clear clarity. It's like polishing a gemstone, revealing its true beauty and depth.

Overall, "Rough Mix" is a delightful musical experience that will make you feel like you've stumbled upon a hidden treasure. So put on your best tweed jacket, pour yourself a cup of tea, and let Pete Townshend and Ronnie Lane serenade you with their whimsical tunes. Cheers!

About the artist

Pete Townshend

Pete Townshend: the windmill-armed wild man of The Who, the man who brought us "My Generation," "Baba O'Riley," and that legendary rock opera, Tommy. With his signature stage antics and iconic guitar-smashing moments, Townshend has solidified his status as a bona fide rock legend. Born on May 19, 1945 in Chiswick, West London, Townshend quickly made a name for himself as a talented songwriter and guitarist. His distinctive style, marked by powerful riffs and introspective lyrics, set him apart from his contemporaries and helped define the sound of British rock in the 1960s and 70s. But Townshend's contributions to music go beyond just his work with The Who. As a solo artist, he has released a string of critically acclaimed albums, exploring themes of spirituality, politics, and personal turmoil. His introspective ballads and explosive rock anthems have earned him a devoted fan base and cemented his reputation as one of the most versatile musicians of his generation. Despite his legendary status, Townshend has always remained grounded, often poking fun at his own rock star persona. Whether he's talking about smashing guitars or his struggles with fame and addiction, Townshend's candidness and wit have endeared him to fans and critics alike. So here's to Pete Townshend, the man who continues to push boundaries and challenge conventions, proving that even rock legends can still surprise us.
