Wilko Johnson, legendary guitarist with Canvey Island pub rock pioneers Dr Feelgood, and Roger Daltrey, lead singer of rock giants The Who will release a joint album on March 25th on the world famous Chess label which has been resurrected especially for the purpose. The album features at total of 11 tracks, 10 of which are Wilko originals from both his Dr Feelgood days and solo years while one track is a cover version of Bob Dylan’s Highway 61 Revisited classic “Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window”.

The album mostly features re-makes of vintage Wilko gems, including the Feelgoods’ “All Through The City”, “Keep It Out Of Sight” and “Going Back Home” – the latter co-written in 1975 with Johnny Kidd & The Pirates’ guitarist Mick Green – plus “Everybody’s Carrying A Gun”, originally recorded by his post-Feelgoods group The Solid Senders, and the solo ‘80s rockers “Ice On The Motorway” and “I’m Going To Keep It To Myself”. There is also a hidden gem, the heart-wrenching ballad Turned 21, which has never been properly released or performed live.
