A rare find!

This CD was one that I had in the early/ mid 90's at a very happy time in my life. How cool it is that somebody can sell music like this at such a great price.

LONG LIVE JIMI - BUY THIS DISC!!

WOW!! Looked interesting when I saw it for sale, I can't tell you how glad I am that I bought it. Starting with an outstanding version of Purple Haze by the CURE (if that's the cure, I'd hate to see the disease!) then on to old "Slowhand" Clapton, Body Count, Spin Doctors, Pretenders and more. Of course, seeing Jeff Beck as the coolest and most talented guitarist ever, my absolute favorite is Manic Depression by Beck with Seal on vocals. They meld almost as seamlessly, or better, than the early Beck with Rod Stewart. Positively not one bad cut on the entire disc. From a Hendrix lover, it is great to hear all these other super talents interpret a gentleman who was no doubt an inspiration to their musical careers as well as countless others.

All in all a great tribute to one of the greatest guitar

Great renditions of some well-known Hendrix songs. Any fan of Jimi’s would be pleased.

Very impressive!

A lot of tribute albums seem to really stray from the original songs and become more about the person doing the cover. On this one, however, you can tell that everyone was very serious about what they did. Every song is done very tastefully and you can tell that all the artists probably had a great time in making these songs. I love the Spin Doctors rendition of "Spanish Castle Magic." It has their signature style and TONS of energy. A definite standout. Buddy Guy's take on "Red House" is also good. It is done in old blues fashion with just a hint of Buddy's wildness. "Hey Joe" done by Ice T's band Body Count is very intense. Very tight band and heartfelt vocals. Nice job! Seal and Jeff Beck come together for a very cool version of "Manic Depression." Seal's silky-smooth voice sounds great and so does Jeff's tone. Nigel Kennedy does one of the instrumentals on this one; "Fire." Pat Matheny does the other ("Third Stone From the Sun") and both sound great. Jimi would no doubt be very proud of the work by these two masters. The last, and in my opinion, best track on this album is "Hey Baby (Land of the New Rising Sun)" done by M.A.C.C., which stands for McCready (Mike, guitarist from Pearl Jam), Ament (Jeff, bassist from Pearl Jam), Cameron (Matt, drummer from Soundgarden) and Cornell (Chris, singer from Soundgarden). This is unbelievable. It has the moody feel of these two bands and the amazing vocals of Chris "Leatherlungs" Cornell. This is a very powerful song and must be heard to be believed! Overall, this is a very, very, very good album. I didn't know what to expect when I bought this one a few years ago, but boy am I glad I did! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.Read full review...

Hendrix Cover Album

Jimi Hendrix, One of the greatest, if not, the greatest guitarists to ever live.

If you want to hear Jimi, buy a Jimi cd, if you want to hear alternate versions of Jimis' songs by various artist, this is a great album.

I liked the album because when you listened to it, you knew you where groov'n on Hendrix Songs, but each artist put their own personal style and sound to the song they performed. Something different.

I didn't love every song, but I would still recommend this album because the songs I did like more than made up for the ones I didn't like so well.Read full review...

Great tribute!

Not a klinker in the bunch, as the sayings goes, "All Killer no Filler!"
