About this album

All The Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes is Pete Townshend’s most searching solo album, balancing restless art-rock ideas with some of his strongest melodies. Issued in 1982, it followed his early solo successes and found him pushing beyond straightforward rock into more reflective, uneasy territory, with songs such as Slit Skirts and The Sea Refuses No River standing out for their bite and emotional clarity. The album draws on Townshend’s trademark tension between confessional writing and big, angular arrangements, making it a key work in his catalogue and an important example of early-80s British rock ambition.

Genre: Pop & Rock
