NEW 7″ SINGLE OF ‘GOING BACK HOME’

Wilko Johnson and Roger Daltrey 

Going Back Home / Ice On the Motorway 7” single  released 19th May

Taken from the top three album of the same name, Going Back Home is the second single from Wilko Johnson and Roger Daltrey. Both the album and their very special show at Shepherds Bush Empire have been rapturously received….

“A brilliant 100 percent pure British rock ‘n’ roll album’ The Sun ***** 

“Enough energy to blow up the National Grid. Album of the year so far” The Sunday Express *****

“Tremendous fun. Every precious second of it” The Sunday Times 

“As subtle as a full English Breakfast and just as satisfying” The Times 

“Vibrant and vigorous, with all it’s vital signs pumping” Uncut

“A joyful, celebratory affair” Mojo

A romping piece of old school R+B, the track was written by Wilko and Johnny Kidd and The Pirates guitarist Mick Green, the song Going Back Home was originally released by Dr Feelgood on their 1975 ‘Malpractice’ album. 

Mick Green’s work with Johnny Kidd on tracks such as Shakin’ All Over and Please Don’t Touch was one of the things that first bonded Roger and Wilko when they both attended an awards ceremony in 2010, Roger Daltrey “It turned out we both loved Johnny Kidd & 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.”
