ROGER DALTREY: THANKS A LOT MR KIBBLEWHITE My Story

The Who's lead singer and frontman does a remarkable job narrating his candid, honest, self-deprecating, and carefully researched memoir. The title refers to a teacher who assured the author he would never amount to anything. Roger Daltrey's voice is charming, strong, and notably youthful for a person of his years. He details his personal life journey, particularly the wild ride associated with rock stars who began their ascendency in the 1960s. Daltrey shares the wisdom that he has developed as he describes, at times in too much detail, nearly every recording session and concert of his career. In contrast to many rock musicians' perspectives on their lives, Daltrey's effort leaves the listener both informed and refreshed. W.A.G. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2018]
