Our Take

John Entwistle, the legendary bassist of The Who, has gifted the world with a comprehensive box set that delves deep into the depths of his musical genius. Aptly titled "The Ox", this collection is a treasure trove of rare tracks, live recordings, and unreleased gems that showcase Entwistle's phenomenal talent.

From the thunderous bass lines of "My Wife" to the haunting melody of "Heaven and Hell", each track on "The Ox Box Set" is a testament to Entwistle's unparalleled skills as a musician. His ability to seamlessly blend rock, R&B, and blues is on full display here, leaving listeners in awe of his sheer versatility.

But it's not just Entwistle's musical prowess that shines through on this box set. The accompanying booklet is a delightful journey through his life and career, peppered with anecdotes and insights that give fans a glimpse into the man behind the music.

While some may argue that box sets are a thing of the past, "The Ox" proves that when done right, they can be a true work of art. John Entwistle may have been known as "The Quiet One" in The Who, but with this box set, his voice is loud and clear, resonating through the decades and solidifying his status as a true rock legend.

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.
