Ride a Rock Horse is the second solo album by The Who's lead singer, Roger Daltrey. It was first released in 1975.[3] Songs were recorded during Daltrey's filming commitments for Ken Russell's film Lisztomania. The album's cover, which is photographed and designed by Daltrey's cousin Graham Hughes, depicts the singer as a rampant centaur.[4]
The song "Come and Get Your Love" reached number 68 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the album reached number 14 in the UK and number 28 in the US.[5] The song, "Hearts Right", had a music video with graphics and animation by Gerald Scarfe, who would later become known for his work with Pink Floyd.
