THE IRON MAN: A Musical album by Pete Townshend, released in 1989 is a song cycle adapted from TED HUGHES' children's book, ambitious in scope as well as in its cast of characters.
It is notable for a reunion (of sorts) with former Who members Roger Daltrey and John Entwhistle (on "Fire" and "Dig," the latter of which finds Daltrey in fine vocal form), as well as cameo growling from blues legend John Lee Hooker (on the menacing "I Eat Heavy Metal" and the strangely wistful "Over the Top"), and bizarre shrieking from jazz great Nina Simone.
Townshend himself turns a stirring performance or two, reaching a pinnacle on the affirming "All Shall be Well." and although THE IRON MAN is a slightly bumpy ride, its turbulence is a testament to Townshend's creative ambition
