Wilko Johnson vient de confirmer les détails relatifs à l'album intitulé Going Back Home qu'il va sortir en compagnie de Roger Daltrey le 10 mars prochain. Les premières discussions débutèrent en 2010 et concernant Daltrey, celui-ci était très désireux d'enregistrer un album de blues précisant également que Wilko et lui étaient fans de Johnny Kidd And The Pirates. Par ailleurs, les deux compères donneront un seul concert le 25 février prochain au Shepherd's Bush de Londres.

Wilko Johnson has confirmed details of his studio album with The Who singer Roger Daltrey.

Going Back Home will be released on the iconic Chess label – reactivate specifically for the record – on March 10. And the pair will perform a one-off show in London’s Shepherds Bush Empire on February 25.

It’s an emotional milestone in the career of Johnson, who’d pledged to record an album before terminal cancer ended his career.

For his part, Daltrey has wanted to make a blues record for years. He explains the collaboration was first discussed in 2010: “It turned out we both loves Johnny Kidd and the Pirates. They’d been a big influence on both our bands. That heavy power-trio sound, backing up a singer – it’s a British institution. No one does that better than us.”

Classic Rock Award winner Johnson, who recently recorded a double-A side single with The Urban Voodoo Machine, reveals that recording sessions took place in November after Daltrey had completed a Who tour. “Roger jumped up and said, ‘Let’s do it,’” he explains. “He knew this lovely little studio called Yellow Fish. Unfortunate name for a place – but a great studio.”




The pair were joined by Johnson’s live band, bassist Norman Watt-Roy and drummer Dylan Howe, plus keyboardist Mick Talbot. Going Back Home features 10 tracks from across Johnson’s career plus a cover of Bob Dylan’s Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window.

“I’ve had a brilliant year,” says the former Dr Feelgood guitarist. “I was meant to die in October and now I’ve recorded this with Roger. I can’t keep gushing, but I saw The Who in 1969 when I was at university. He’s a star to me.”
