About this album

Rough Mix brings together Pete Townshend and Ronnie Lane for one of the more appealing rock collaborations of the 1970s. Issued in 1977, the album pairs Townshend’s sharper edge with Lane’s earthy, melodic songcraft, creating a set that feels relaxed but finely judged rather than merely casual. Recorded after their work together in the mid-1970s, it moves between acoustic textures, reflective writing and straight-ahead rock, with songs such as My Baby Gives It Away and Street in the City showing how well their voices and instincts complement each other. The result is a distinctive sidestep from their main bands, and a record prized for its easy chemistry and understated character.
