Pete Townshend has said this month in his official blog that he wants T Bone to produce the next Who album, which he has begun writing. Pete describes his concept to be ‘more of a basic Who album,’ meaning that it might not be a micro-opera or audio novel gone awry. Odd that a guy who was well known in the 80’s for producing new acts of the 80’s (Los Lobos, Peter Case) has gone on to conquer the world of classic rock superstars. Pete will just have to wait until T Bone is through touring with Robert Plant. We are officially predicting he will go on to produce the Rolling Stones on their next album. Anything is possible at this point. Ultimately, we feel he should go on to produce his old employer Bob Dylan. Other new albums produced by T Bone coming out soon are new titles from John Mellencamp and The BoDeans. He also produced the debut album by the new G.E. Smith project, Moonalice. We think he may have cloned himself, so that evil T Bone Burnett robots can simultaneously produce every recording artist on earth.
