Description
Emmy winning writer/director Jeff Greenstein (Desperate Housewives, Friends, Will & Grace) returns to the show for a deep dive about one of rock's most iconic bands, The Who, and their strange 1966 LP 'A Quick One'.
We talk about how the album was a transition from the band's R&B beginnings to their concept album period, the influence of the Who's unconventional managers Lambert & Stamp, why every member of the band wrote songs on this album, the mini-opera title track, the relationship between Daltrey and Townshend and how Jeff almost had the Who appear in a TV show he wrote.
My Favorite Album is a podcast unpacking the great works of pop music. Each episode features a different songwriter or musician discussing their favorite album of all time - their history with it, the making of the album, individual songs and the album’s influence on their own music.Jeremy Dylan is a filmmaker, journalist and photographer from Sydney, Australia who has worked in the music industry since 2007. He directed the the feature music documentary Jim Lauderdale: The King of Broken Hearts (out now!) and the feature film Benjamin Sniddlegrass and the Cauldron of Penguins, in addition to many commercials and music videos.
