Roger Daltry - After the Fire

This was actually the album that turned me into a Roger Daltry fan. In '85 when this came out Roger was 41 and out to prove that he could still rock with the kids. While the album may not have been a huge commercial success, it certainly seemed like a big deal in my house.  My buddy Otto had the cassette copy of the album that contained the bonus track "Love Me Like You Do" which was an incredible song, and it was too bad it didn't make the cut for the album. There was a time, thankfully a short time, that record labels were trying to push cassette sales and a number of artists from Phil Collins to Flock of Seagulls included bonus tracks on their tape releases, and later this translated to CDs where extended versions and bonus tracks weren't restricted to 22 and a 1/2 minutes a side. Roger's voice was his instrument, and boy howdy he let it loose. Speaking of voices, I remember being really excited to see Mark Williamson's name listed as the backing singer...
