I'd have to sum it up with the one word: brilliant.

I bought it today because I wanted to hear it but knew nobody would sell it in to us used. Like Petra herself before Mike Watt suggested the project to her, I haven't heard the actual Who album. But it's number one on my shopping list now.

She sings the vocals. She sings the guitars. She even sings the drums on some songs!

Anyway, it's great.

i've only heard "I Can See For Miles" and the Heinz commercial. It was interesting, but still just kinda quirky covers to me. I guess I have to check out "A Quick One (While He's Away)" to really make light of it.

Tomorrow, possibly.

I never gave the Who much notice. I don't own anything by them.

She is easily the hottest Decemberist. I think the moment I fell in love was when she covered "Wuthering Heights."

As perfect a box set as has ever been issued.

That's one of my favorite Who albums, and I can't wait to hear Petra's version.

If she'd taken over for Greg X. Volz instead of John Schlitt, I might have kept paying attention.
