3.0 out of 5 stars 'More Oar: A Tribute To Alexander 'Skip' Spence' (Birdman) Various Artists, July 15, 2008

As for tribute albums, 'More Oar' is decent. Problem is that many of these songs are likely unfamiliar to most fans unless they were like a Moby Grape / Skip Spence die-hard. However, there are plenty of good songs here for you listening pleasure - like Robert Plant's "Little Hands", Mudhoney with their *ss-kicking contribution of "War In Peace" {possibly the best track altogether}, Robyn Hitchcock's "Broken Heart", {here's one I didn't expect} - Flying Saucer Attack, paying their respect with "Grey-Afro" and Beck putting his best foot forward with "Halo Of Gold". Enjoy.

It was a good CD, there is not much else to say. Not all of the songs were recognizeable, amazing, life-altering songs, but i enjoyed listening to this CD
