"Giving It All Away" was a top five hit in the UK in '73, and was a very good song, considering the source. The first CD covers his early solo stuff, up to "Under A Raging Moon." While I didn't care much for the quality of the earliest work, being Leo Sayer and Dave Courtenay's tunes, Daltrey showed he had a softer, more sensitive side that did not get much of a workout in the Who. It also proves that like any good singer, he can shift his voice into anything he bloody well wants. "It is true that Roger's solo work will always take a back seat to the Who (same goes for Entwistle's, and much of Townshend's), but this 2-CD collection is a great examination of Daltrey's evolution as a singer, from the Who to his own stuff.
