 This executive beauty does not give me the pleasure that, for example, that diabolical slut MilesDavis managed to kick your ass with and make you dream.

 There is a sort of lifeless, serene, subdued fluidity, which does not limit the quality of the goods on display, but indeed renders it just that, goods.

 This is not a Who-style album. Forget the Who, forget that Daltrey is their singer (and what a singer!).

 'One Of The Boys' shows his desire to experiment with genres sometimes very different from his standards, with results sometimes excellent sometimes unappealing.

Roger Daltrey's 1977 solo album 'One Of The Boys' shows his willingness to explore diverse genres beyond The Who’s style. The album contains some notable tracks like 'Avenging Annie' and 'Say It Ain't So Joe', though several songs fall short. Collaborations with writers including Paul McCartney and Steve Gibbons bring variety, but the album remains uneven overall. The 2005 remaster adds bonus tracks with mixed appeal. Not essential but with a few gems for fans. Dive into Roger Daltrey’s solo journey—listen to One Of The Boys and discover its unique blend of rock and ballads!
