Tommy at 50 : The Mood, the Look, and the Legacy of the Who's Legendary Rock Opera, Revised and Extended Edition
The Who / Tommy - Book - by Chris Charlesworth, Mike McInnerney
(2023)
This updated and expanded edition of Tommy at Fifty is the definitive
illustrated companion to the album that made the Who one of the greatest
and most influential bands of the rock era. Written by two leading
experts on, and close associates of, the group—journalist and author
Chris Charlesworth and original album cover designer Mike McInnerney—it
considers the album from four distinct angles, examining the mood of its
creation, the origins of its music, the look of the artwork and its
subsequent film adaptation, and its enduring legacy. With a foreword by
Pete Townshend and cover art created exclusively for this book by
McInnerney, Tommy at Fifty offers an unparalleled window into the Who’s
finest hour. With the exception perhaps of My Generation, Tommy remains
the work with which the Who are most closely associated.
It’s
the album that turned Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle, and
Keith Moon into millionaire superstars, and, like its Messiah figure
title character, it casts a long shadow over both their subsequent work
together and the canon of 20th-century rock music.
