Annotation

John Atkins' remarkable survey of the Who's recordings begins by pointing out that, unlike many of their contemporaries, they were an ensemble band with no single instrumentalist standing out. But, as this erudite and scholarly book explains, this meant that the band's four members were engaged in a continuous artistic struggle with each other that ultimately benefited the group's overall sound, which evolved constantly from their first recordings in the mid-1960s to their final album before the death of drummer Keith Moon, 1978's WHO ARE YOU. Atkins follows the band through early experimental songs like "I Can't Explain" and "Substitute," to their groundbreaking rock opera TOMMY, and beyond, analyzing songwriting and performances, as well as comparing the recording to the band's other work. He also provides historical and social contexts for each major release. With plentiful cross-referencing and some remarkably sharp critical commentary (Atkins is no Who apologist), THE WHO ON RECORD is an ideal aid to any serious study of this seminal British band.
