Roger Daltrey has one of rock’s most unmistakable voices—but what was he really like inside the recording studio? Author and musician Don Henze shares his firsthand account of working with The Who frontman during the making of Daltrey’s 1992 solo album, Rocks in the Head.

Henze recounts their unexpected meeting in Greenwich Village, recording at Abbey Road Studios, Daltrey’s remarkable vocal instincts and relentless determination, the business pressures surrounding the album, and Henze’s disputed songwriting contribution. He also reflects on performing at Carnegie Hall, Daltrey’s promises to help his career, and the inspiration behind his book, Roger Daltrey and the Bright Shiny Object.
