3 out of 5 stars Some very good songs and some wrong ones............2005-12-28

This is a cd Roger Daltrey did after THE WHO "broke up in 1983" and the title track refers to it: Parting should be painless"..
It contains some great songs such as "How does the cold wind cry" where Roger sings his heart out and also a ballad like "Would a stranger do?". He tried to promote "Walking in my sleep" as a single with a video. "Going Strong" is also a very good song. In the rest of the songs he does not sound confortable, so it seems somebody did some wrong choices.

It is clear that the excelent songs here are: "How does the cold wind cry", "Going Strong", "Would a Stranger do" and also good are the title track and "Walking in my sleep". The rest...we can forget about them.

4 out of 5 stars KILLER FERRY-PENNED TRACK! COULD USE REMASTERING, THOUGH!.......2004-10-19

I have been waiting for this album to appear on CD for decades; I still have my vinyl copy of it.

The object of my fervor is an absolutely killer track written by Bryan Ferry called "Going Strong". To my knowledge, Ferry has never recorded the tune himself (a shame), so I am assuming he wrote this for Daltrey and this album. If you liked "The Main Thing" from Roxy's Avalon CD, you'll dig this track.

The rest of the album is pretty good, but it is one of those rare times when one song is worth the price of the entire CD. If you have not heard the track, especially if you are a Ferry / Roxy fan, check it out. You won't be sorry.

I do wish, however, that Wounded Bird would get up off its butt and provide proper remastering one of these days. You have to kick the volume on this disc (and just about every other WB disc) up quite a ways to get a decent response. There aren't a lot of dynamics of a CD made from a master that was EQ'd for vinyl 20 years ago.

Hey, WB? If Rhino can make a business model out of remastering, why can't you?
