Reviews

  • Don't care if it is a "tribute" or not. It stinks.

    I gave it 1 star because I can't give it no stars at all. I could barely stand to listen to this entire album. There might be one track I found to be ok, but the rest were craptastic. If you are going to participate in a tribute album, you should at least in some small way make your version flattering to the original artist... but nobody told this to the performers on this album. Maybe they could use this album for torture at Guantanamo Bay.
  • One of the best of the tribute albums!

    Whoever produced this album put a lot of thought and effort into and it shows. The bands and songs covered are overall excellent, and there are a few absolute gems. Frente!'s version of "Ruby's Arms" is as good as, if not better, than the original, and Dave Alvin's cover of "Ol' 55", Tim Buckley's of "Martha" and Alex Chilton's of "Downtown" are thoroughly enjoyable. Unfortunately, missing from this collection (but on the original CD) is one of the best tracks, 10,000 Maniac's version of "I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You".
