If the art of the cover is as old as rock, and even earlier than jazz (they are called standards), if the history of the blues itself is the story of continuous reinterpretations that made it an oral tradition even before a recording one, in the music born after the standardization of the disc-product the original interpretation has always remained at the center of the story and the passions of the public.
There are few cases in which a cover has surpassed the author's interpretation ("All along the watchtower" in Hendrix's vision, above all ...).
But with the tribute album everything changes: as in classical music, the piece becomes the repertoire and the performers determine the artistic quality of the recording.
We must therefore resign ourselves to welcoming works like this from a new point of view: the music is necessarily always the same, the interpretation qualifies it.
Many years have passed since the death of one of the best musicians that the twentieth century can boast: his influence on at least four generations of guitarists is incalculable who, if they have often been able to imitate with decency and dignity, just as often have helped to clarify the idea and the measure of the Seattle lefty's talent and imagination.
If Jimi Hendrix had an earthly life, there were a hundred artistic ones: obviously mostly posthumous.
In the case of this umpteenth tribute, the interpretation is generally excellent.
So "Third Stone From The Sky" by Steve Lukater or "Castle Made Of Sand" by the talented Scott Finch, are very convincing.
Interesting "House Burning Down" by Larry Coryell, however too technical, while among the best things are the reinterpretation of "Message To Love" by Robben Ford and that of "Red House" that Joe Colombo renders in perfect country-blues style.
Many others, better known and lesser known (some more faithful to the original), animate this tribute: Pat Travers with "I Don't Live Today", John Nitzinger with a good "Fire", the extroverted Mike Onesko with the classic "Hey Joe", Vic Vergeat with "If Six Was Nine", Hiram Bullock with "Voodoo Chile" and Alessio Menconi with a successful "Manic Depression".
One of the best tributes!
