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....

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"

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.

GREAT TRIBUTE CD PUT OUT ON THE RUF RECORDS WITH MORE STARS THEN A PERFECT SUMMER NIGHT. WHAT I LIKE IS THAT THERE ARE COVERS OF THE POPULAR SONGS AND COVERS OF THE LESSER KNOW THAT HAVE NOT BEEN COVERED ON THE MANY OTHER HENDRIXS TRIBUTES. ERIC BIBBS OPENS THE CD WITH A BEAUTIFUL VERSION OF "ANGEL" FOLLWED BUY A GREAT SMOKIN VERSION OF "WHO KNOWS" FROM BAND OF GYPSYS CD BUY THE POWER TRIO OF WALTER TROUT,POPA CHUBBY AND JAMES THACKERY.MY OTHER FAVORITES TRACKS ARE "HEY JOE" BY WALTER TROUT AND "LITTLE WING" BY THE YOUNG BLUES WIZ AYNSLEY LISTER. ERIC BURDON OF ANIMALS FAME DOES A GREAT JOB ON TWO CUTS "I DONT LIVE TODAY" AND "THIRD STONE FROM THE SUN/THE STORY OF LIVE". THE WIND CRIES MARY IS DONE GREAT BY BUDDY MILES AND DOUBLE TROUBLE. OTHER ARTISTS ON THE CD ARE TAJ MAHAL,ALVIN "YOUNGBLOOD" HART .
