The album cover has been created by famed pop artist, Sir Peter Blake who first met the band in 1964 at a taping of the legendary TV show Ready Steady Go.

There is no theme, no concept, no story, just a set of songs that I (and my brother Simon) wrote to give Roger Daltrey some inspiration, challenges and scope for his newly revived singing voice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Roger and I are both old men now, by any measure, so I\u2019ve tried to stay away from romance, but also from nostalgia if I can. I didn\u2019t want to make anyone feel uncomfortable. Memories are OK, and some of the songs refer to the explosive state of things today. I made new home studio demos of all these songs in the summer of 2018 using a wide collection of instruments old and new. We started recording as The Who in March 2019, and have finished now in late August just in time to make some vinyl\u2026\u2026\u2026maybe even some cassettes\u2026\u2026ready for release in November\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Two songs on the album, the epic \u201cBall &amp; Chain\u201d and string-laden \u201cHero Ground Zero,\u201d recently got their world premiere when the band played with a 40-piece orchestra to a packed Wembley Stadium.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>THE WHO \u2018WHO\u2019 TRACKLISTING:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All This Music Must Fade<br \/>\nBall &amp; Chain<br \/>\nI Don&#8217;t Wanna Get Wise<br \/>\nDetour<br \/>\nBeads On One String*<br \/>\nHero Ground Zero<br \/>\nStreet Song<br \/>\nI\u2019ll Be Back<br \/>\nBreak The News**<br \/>\nRockin\u2019 In Rage<br \/>\nShe Rocked My World<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All songs written by Pete Townshend except<br \/>\n*Pete Townshend\/Josh Hunsacker **Simon Townshend<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Produced by Pete Townshend &amp; D.
