I am one of the worst offenders for considering The Who to be MY band! I came upon Petra Haden's version of "Sell Out" via "Armenia..." being featured on a free "Who Covered" CD in Mojo magazine. I downloaded the entire album and it is truly wonderful. It completely captures what "Sell Out" was all about. It is quaint, yet really does bring out parts of the music that previously seemed hidden. Highlights are definitely "I Can't Reach You", "Sunrise" and "Rael". I will forgive her for getting the opening line of "Mary Anne.." wrong. Get this album if you love The Who!

I just podded "I can see for miles" on iTunes! Pretty amazing stuff. (and a nice interview - NPR's Weekend Edition is archived in RealPlayer.)

Between this and the Moody Bluegrass cd, I've got some new favourites. Thanks to all involved.
