LIFEHOUSE





The brilliant 'Albums That Never Were' blog has posted an update for his previous 'Lifehouse' project from Pete Townshend and The Who. Qualitatively it is a streak ahead of previous examples and whilst we have touched on others here this is by far n the best IMHO. With excellent liner notes exploring the chequered story of how you follow up on 'Tommy' and the official line produced perhaps my favourite Who album in 'Who's Next' we know Pete was struggling with keeping it together and the shambles and stress induced story that was to produce the sprawling concept of 'Lifehouse' is well documented elsewhere but this is not to be missed
