Johnson and Daltrey decided to work together after meeting when seated next to each other at an awards ceremony in 2010 and quickly striking up a friendship. Daltrey said, “It turned out we both loved Johnny Kidd & the Pirates. They’d been a big influence on both our bands. That heavy power-trio sound, backing up a singer; it’s a British institution. No-one does that better than us.”

Johnson was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in January 2013, but was well enough to press ahead with the collaboration when The Who finished their world tour. Going Back Home was recorded in the space of a week in November 2013.^[1] According to Johnson, “Roger jumped up and said, ‘Let’s do it,’. He knew this lovely little studio called Yellow Fish in Uckfield. Unfortunate name for a place, but a great studio.” The album’s track listing was revealed on 22 February 2014. Against the odds Johnson survived the cancer.

Some of the musicians working with Johnson and Daltrey were current and past Blockheads members Dylan Howe, Norman Watt-Roy (who also worked on Daltrey’s 1984 album, Parting Should Be Painless), and The Style Council’s former keyboardist Mick Talbot.

Not only is it a fantastic record that brings two legends together, but teens with cancer will benefit from your purchase.
