Turner continued to embrace her rock ‘n’ roll roots while exploring new sonic landscapes with the boldand daring Acid Queen (1975). Inspired by her role as the “Acid Queen” in Ken Russell's film version ofThe Who's classic rock opera Tommy, the title track is a gritty and raw reimagination of PeteTownshend’s original. Turner embraced her character’s fiery and defiant voice with visceral covers ofThe Rolling Stones’ “Under My Thumb,” The Who’s “I Can See For Miles,” and Led Zeppelin’s “WholeLotta Love.” The album explored Turner’s musical boundary-pushing and was a testament to her uniqueartistry.
