THOSE kudos belong to list member, Peter Kuehl, who did a truly outstanding
job pulling together some amazing bands from all over the place. Peter,
truly, was the mid-wife of this one.
Seriously, I hope some of you folks on the list go and check this one
out........many are jaded about tributes but this is does what a great
tribute should always do....have unique takes by the artists on the CD that
make you want to go re-explore not only the band being feted but the work of
the band doing the tribute song.
