justinkurian The Who Prep Covers Album
4/2/08, 5:40 pm EST

The Who are planning a collection of vintage R&B covers, similar to the Motown and James Brown songs they performed early on in their career. “We’re digging through lots of material and seeing what will work,” says producer T Bone Burnett, who expects to travel to London this fall to begin recording. “There’s an incredible treasury of songs in the mode of what they used to play. Not ‘Heat Wave’ [an early favorite of the band], but ones that people probably haven’t heard of.” Pete Townshend may also write new material for the project. “It might be a combination of both,” Burnett says. “We’re still turning it over.” In other Who news, the band will perform on July 12th in Los Angeles for VH1’s Rock Honors.

The blues is more than a mere technique - it's a feeling. Something tells me if they attempted a full album in this day and age, it would suck tremendously.

Like "Charmed life" suck? It would have to be an improvement, for the love of Matt Clifford, it would have to be.

See??? That's what I was saying in my other post in response to Gazza. The Who doing some blues covers and some new material. That's what I wish the Stones would do!

I never heard Charmed Life but I am right in assuming it sucks? A blues album would be weak, contrived and unconvincing. Why do they always have special guests on the blues songs? To add legitimacy.

Sioux They did all right with blues covers when Brian and Bill were in the band....

Somewhat. Although I'd venture that being around since the American Folk Blues Festival days would give the Stones legitimacy. You're probably right that they can't summon that deep blues feeling being near billionaires living in a gilded cage for the better part of four decades, but they could get a groove down and Mick is quite a good blues harp player still. At any rate, it just seems more dignified to try that approach than to try and compete as a current pop act.

And yeah Charmed Life suuuuucks.
