On his concept album White City, the humble nephew of Tommy and Quadrophenia. White City is a microcosmic London neighborhood Pete knows very well since he lived in nearby Chiswick and Shepherds Bush. Call it a rock 'n roll Coronation Street where secondhand love rules.

When these two cover, they cover deep: not Imagine but How Do You Sleep (Lennon), not All Day And All Of The Night but Rainy Day In June (Ray Davies), not Hurricane but Words Between The Lines Of Age (Neil Young), not As Tears Go By but Over Here No Time For Justice (Marianne Faithfull), not Tommy but White City (Pete Townshend). Look who else they help rediscover: John Martyn, Tim Easton, Townes Van Zandt, John Cale, Tom Waits, Richard Thompson, Nick Lowe and dirk Blanchart.
