“Daltrey climbs inside every song, slaps it about a bit and makes it his own” ~ Q ****

‘Where Is A Man To Go’ is the final track from the legendary Who frontman Roger Daltrey before the release from his forthcoming album

AS LONG AS I HAVE YOU released June 1st

‘Where Is A Man To Go’is Daltrey’s variation on Dusty Springfield’s ‘Where is A Woman To Go.’

“No one ever considers a man crying over his beer about a woman, do they?”says Daltrey, who once supported Dusty with the High Numbers at the Brighton Hippodrome in 1964. The song was a highlight of Dusty’s last studio album A Very Fine Love, and Roger had been thinking about covering the track since he saw Dusty perform it on

Later With Jools Holland in June 1995, a performance that was sadly to be her last ever appearance on TV.

‘Where is A Man To Go’and the rest of As Long As I Have You was produced by Dave Eringa, best known for his work with the Manic Street Preachers and on Roger and Wilko Johnson’s album Going Back Home and features Pete Townshend’s inimitable guitar on seven tracks as well as guest performances from Mick Talbot on keyboards (Dexys, The Style Council) and Sean Genockey on lead guitar who has worked with Suede, Shame and The Proclaimers).

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

Roger Daltrey on As Long As I Have You: “This is a return to the very beginning, to the time before Pete [Townshend] started writing our songs, to a time when we were a teenage band playing soul music to small crowds in church halls. That's what we were, a soul band. 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. It felt like the right time. It's where I am, looking back to that time, looking across all those years but also being here, now, in the soulful moment”
