Additional guest performances include Mick Talbot on keyboards (Dexys, The Style Council) and Sean Genockey on lead guitar who has worked with Suede, Shame, and The Proclaimers).ĭuring his five decade-spanning career, Daltrey has sold over 100 million records including 9 US & 10 UK Top 10 albums and 14 UK Top 10 singles. It's where I am, looking back to that time, looking across all those years but also being here, now, in the soulful moment.”Īs Long As I Have You was produced by Dave Eringa who previously worked with Daltrey on his album with Wilko Johnson, Going Back Home, and features Pete Townshend’s inimitable guitar on seven tracks.

For a long time, I've wanted to return to the simplicity of these songs, to show people my voice, a voice they won't have heard before. Reflecting on As Long As I Have You, Roger Daltrey says: “This is a return to the very beginning, to the time before Pete started writing our songs, to a time when we were a teenage band playing soul music to small crowds in church halls. The title track was originally recorded by Garnet Mimms in 1964 the year that Daltrey, Townshend, Entwistle, and Moon changed their name from The High Numbers and became The Who. The album also includes Daltrey’s variation of Dusty Springfield’s “Where Is A Woman To Go”.

The album is a mixture of self-penned tracks including “Certified Rose” and the soulful ballad “Always Heading Home”, along with songs that have inspired Daltrey over the years such as Nick Cave’s “Into My Arms”, Stevie Wonder’s “You Haven’t Done Nothing” and Stephen Stills’ “How Far”. Work on As Long As I Have You began shortly after Daltrey’s Top 5 Gold-selling Going Back Home was released and continued during breaks on The Who’s record-breaking 50 th anniversary tour, The Who Hits 50.
