SE 4, EP 6: Pete Townshend - Empty Glass
Manage episode 396817616 series 2820514
On this week's episode, we dig into Pete Townshend's official debut solo LP, 1980's Empty Glass. As the main songwriter for The Who, Pete Townshend crafted songs that let singer Roger Daultrey flex his powerful voice and lets the rhythm section stretch out and indulge their bombastic sides. But on Empty Glass, Townshend is able to show that he can write songs that require a softer, perhaps more nimble, touch. His voice is sweet, almost delicate in places, but its the musicianship where Townshend really shows that he is capable of nuance and subtlety. The songs are tight, precises (very much the opposite of the Who), and deftly straddles the the old-guard rock world 1970's and the bright, synth heavy world of a still burgeoning post-punk/new wave movement.
