Comment: Boatloads more energy than Roger showed on last years Who tour, this farewell to the terminally ill Wilko Johnson, one last tour, one last album, stands head and shoulders above most stuff that passes for rock and roll. I always loved Dr. Feelgood though I have become too Americanized to spend too much attention on his solo career. This terrific album rectifies the mistake. I hope Wilko and Roger bringing it to New York for a night.
