4.0 out of 5 stars Some Good Tracks, Some Great Ones...., November 23, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Various Artists-Blue Haze: Songs of Jimi Hendrix (Audio CD)

A solid tribute album. Some weak tracks ("I Don't Live Today," "House Burning Down"), but some real gems, too ("Little Wing," "Hey Joe"). Overall, a substantial and heartfealt tribute to the Master, who would have been 60 this year - that's a birthday party I would have loved to attend....

1.0 out of 5 stars Abomination - Don't Bother!!, November 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Various Artists-Blue Haze: Songs of Jimi Hendrix (Audio CD)

From a life long Hendrix fan. This is hands down the WORST CD I've purchased in the last 10 years! As a tribute to one of the century's true greats, everyone involved in this project, AND the Amazon reviewer who wrote the top level review for this, should be lifelong ashamed. Garbage!. Junk! For those interested in a truly enjoyable tribute, purchase "Stone Free". For those just initiating themselves to Hendrix, invest in the "core" collection of "Are You Experienced, "Axis", and "Electric Ladyland". I'm sickened to think that many of the wonderful performers on this disc would lend their names to such a shoddy, half-baked effort. Pathetic. Mining the graves of the dead at its self serving worst. If you want to hear a single individual do tribute to Jimi, catch any of Stevie Ray Vaughan's Hendrix covers, especially "Third Stone From the Sun" on "Live at the El Macombo Lounge"

4.0 out of 5 stars Who's this guy, Walter Trout?, January 11, 2001

By A Customer

I was really impressed by the Walter Trout tracks. I'd never hear of this guy before. He's great!!!!!! The rest of the tracks are OK, but Trout is outstanding.
