Jem Records Celebrates Pete Townsend : Video Sampler

Jem Records

This video album sampler, with clips of what’s on the tribute album, is very good, a lot of fun, and a reminder that The Who were one of the best bands ever and Townshend is one of the greatest rock songwriters.

My favorites are Lisa Mychols' ebullient “Baba O’Reilly,” Nick Piunti's nicely updated take on”The Seeker,” The Weeklings with my favorite Who song, “I Can See For Miles,” which rocks, and The Anderson Counsel with a good take on “Mary Anne With the Shaky Hand.”

Every track has something to recommend it, so if you love the Who and Townsend, this sampler packs a lot of great stuff into three minutes and will give you an idea of what the album is like. Watch this space for the full album review soon.
