Rather than using the album as a chance to showcase his legendary drumming skill, Keith Moon chose to sing lead vocals on all the tracks, and choose to play drums only on three of the tracks (“Crazy like a Fox“, “The Kids Are Alright“ and “Move Over Ms. L“), although he does plays percussion on “Don’t Worry Baby“. The album features contributions from Ringo Starr, Harry Nilsson, David Bowie, Joe Walsh of The Eagles, Jim Keltner, Bobby Keys, Klaus Voorman, John Sebastian, Flo & Eddie (Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan of The Turtles), Spencer Davis, Dick Dale, Suzi Quatro’s sister Patti Quatro and future actor Miguel Ferrer. Moon was inspired to release a solo album after bandmate John Entwistle had released Smash Your Head Against the Wall (with Moon playing percussion and singing backing vocals) and Whistle Rymes (also with Moon), and Roger Daltrey released his hit album Daltrey. With Pete Townshend soon to do his own solo album, Moon decided to make one as well. Moon, a big fan of The Beach Boys-style surf rock, decided to make a cover album with help from Ringo Starr of The Beatles. Originally recorded for his own album, but not released on it, John Lennon gave Moon the track “Move Over Ms. L“ and later did his own version.
