 Some great tributes to a genius October 22, 2008
Chris Wood (UK)
This has some great artists playing Hendrix covers, and while in some cases they just remind you of how great Jimi was, some are still astoundingly good, most notably Buddy Guy.
If you don't have much Hendrix I'd buy one of his CDs, but if you do and you want another take on some of the great man's work, this has to be worth getting.
 WHOA, WHOA - What the HELL is this?!?!?!?!? March 15, 2008

I got to this by clicking on a link to (supposedly) an mp3 download version of "Stone Free," the Hendrix tribute disc featuring names like Paul Rodgers, Seal, Jeff Beck - instead, this is some piece of dreck called "Tribute to Jimi Hendrix," It features NO ONE of note, and is credited only to "Studio Group!" Amazon, please fix this; I've had only good service from you, and I hope this is only an error. BUYER BEWARE.
 Awesome Tribute Album August 25, 2007
David J. Caban
I had this on cassette originally! But I had to get it on CD, and it was worth every penny!
If you like tribute albums, you can't miss with this one!
One of my favorites!
A Jimi Hendrix experience with a difference May 21, 2007
A. Wilson (Rosengarten, Germany)
I bought this CD a long while ago when bands like the Spin Doctors and PM Dawn were "in". I liked it then and I still do now. Let me make one thing clear: I`m a true Hendrix fan. I have a lot of his output, even hardcore stuff like South Saturn Delta. However I also have RHCP, Tool, Audioslave, Pearl Jam in my stack, so I'm no refusenik. What I like about this CD is its at times liberal interpretations of JH classics, which basically all the tracks are. Reprise could easily have done a double CD in fact, but you takes what you gets. Some of the tracks are fairly true to the original, my favourites in this department being Bodycount's smoking Hey Joe and Slash's/Paul Rodger's blazing remake of I Don't Live Today, while others, like The Cure's version of Purple Haze, go in a completely different but nevertheless interesting direction. Nigel Kennedy would not get on the CD if they did it today, but there you go. Jimi was a free spirit and reinterpreted stuff he liked by others in his own unique way which didn't go down well with everyone in the late 60s. The BBC for example: there's one 60s session I love where you can hear the sound engineer complaining along the lines "It's no good Mr Hendrix, I`m just getting too much distortion here". I'm sure he'd have been flattered by this outpouring of appreciation.
 Odd line up March 31, 2007
JBB
A strange tribute to the great Jimi Hendrix. There are simply not enough guitar players featured here ... which seems odd, no? However, Jeff Beck's playing on Manic Depression is worth the price of the album. He is someone that can play the guitar in the same free spirit as Jimi Hendrix, he is a true artist that, like Hendrix, follows his heart and not the corporate mentality. Too bad much of this album is not like that.
