It's really quite good, but I can't help but feel it's overall rather generic "old men's rock". Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window is my personal favourite.

I know you lost your wife Irene – your childhood sweetheart - to cancer in 2004. Do you think if she were still here today, you’d have made a different decision as far as your own cancer?
Oh, no – I would’ve made the same decision. It really wasn’t a difficult one, you see: they told me they couldn't cure the cancer; they couldn't stop it – all they could do was slow it down.
“You’ve probably got about 10 months to live – maybe a year, if you have chemotherapy.” (laughs) That didn't sound like a very good deal to me. I'd rather let the cancer take its course, you know? I know what it’s like to have someone I loved taken away from me … that’s the most painful thing I could ever go through.
When my wife died, it was much quicker; she died within four months of the diagnosis.
But this past year has been so extraordinary – all the things that have happened to me. I’ve really had some marvelous experiences.

The guitar opening to Going Back Home is a riff Mick Green came up with and showed Wilko. At least that's how Wilko explained it at a meet & greet about eighteen months ago.

Then perhaps Pete Townshend lifted that riff from Mick Green, as I understand he was an influence. The Who covered Shakin' All Over numerous times

I thought Green didn't play on Shakin' all over?

Mick Green? under the influence probably but not an influence
And they thought Rog was done. No way. Pete needs to write some better songs for him to sing.Quote

Wilko had a football-size tumour, as well as his entire pancreas, his spleen, part of his stomach, parts of both his small and large intestines, and removal and reconstruction of blood vessels relating to the liver. He's pulled through the surgery. He's a tough bloke. Roger is in the studio soon to lay vocals on selected tracks from a new & larger project that could result in a new Who LP.
