The neighborhood really must have dug this yesterday. Sat outside with the water sprinkler on. Second hand Smoke blazzing for all to enjoy.

ok ive been listening to this for awhile it is a great album (john norum is the embodyment of frank marino on earth) just kidding but man he does do a great impersonation and he might even play some of those notes faster than frank. this song goes to eleven in my opinion.

next is jenifer batten totaly freaked out love the panniing and the phrygian scales i just wish she would have ripped more .she plays like a girl on this song . and thats cool because she is a girl. and she plays better than most guys that have tattoos of dead things on there bodys.

next is james bryd this guy is sick total insane playing he took a pretty sweet beutiful song and turned it into a monster orchistration .i can actulay see bach conducting mozart to play a vivaldi tune and making mozart run from instrument to instrument stage left,, stage right, balcone, pit, foh,ect:

george lynch took one of franks easyest songs and made it hard smokin gtr but george was holdin back george you know you can do better next time you better do makin my wave or land of a thousand nights. by the way george you f#@&^ed up my shirt in 92 at the backroom in austin remember you owe me

randy hansen is the embodyment of hendrix on a frank marino album

ronny montrose good sound good tone good time i thought you would do a good job on aint dead yet in the vain of i got the fire.

rick ray great job on poppy great solos i love clarinette you are a great guitarist . that song allways reminds me of the theme for hawai 5 O

audley freed good job but im sure youll never leave the ending out again im not one to beat a dead horse.

jeff cloud good choice of song good playing on the gtr but the drummer is to goode for this song

Just got my copy a couple days ago and I've only listened to it once. Very impressive, Willy. I think it's really cool that the artists on this disc were given artistic license to do the songs as they chose. After all, only Frank can do Frank. The packaging is great, and I really like the quotes from the musicians. The musicianship is excellent. I'm usually not too impressed with tribute CD's, however, this one will definitely be getting some play around here. Thanks Willy. :clap :clap
