A planned covers album by the Who, to be produced by T-Bone Burnett, is on hold but still on the British duo's radar, according to frontman Roger Daltrey.
The vocalist tells Billboard.com that there's "no status" on the covers project at the moment because of Burnett's duties on the road with Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. "It's an idea that's ticking away," Daltrey says. "It still probably will happen, but I think the smaller the idea is kept, the better. Small and fluid, maybe just something for our Web site."
Daltrey also confirmed that guitarist Pete Townshend is writing new material for the Who, and the singer is waiting to see what he comes up with. "(Townshend) doesn't like to talk about it," Daltrey notes. "It's the lap of the Gods, isn't it? He doesn't know if he likes it until he knows what it's going to sound like. You just have to be there for him if he needs you."
