AEROSMITH AND QUEEN – HOMAGE PAID AGAIN
It seems AEROSMITH didn’t have to push play – there’s a fourth tribute albums in three years coming out in the wake of “Not The Same Old Song And Dance”, “Janie’s Got A Gun” and “Aerosmithsonian” to present a star line-up. The new one called “Sweet Emotion” is out June 19th on Heavy Hip Mama Records. Here’s the songtrack and performers:
“Cryin'” – Otis Clay
“Pink” – Gerald McClendon
“Walk This Way” – Pinetop Perkins & Rusty Zinn with Ronnie Baker Brooks
“Last Child” – Cathy Richardson & Wayne Baker Brooks
“Big Ten Inch Record” – Marshall Crenshaw & SUGAR BLUE
“One Way Street”- Lou Ann Barton
“Back in the Saddle” – Lou Gramm & SUGAR BLUE
“Dream On” – Kim McFarland
“Draw the Line” – Tad Robinson
“Rag Doll” – Joe Louis Walker
“Sweet Emotion” – Donald Kinsey
“Dude (Looks Like a Lady)” – Crystal Taliefero & Joanna Connor
“Train Kept A Rollin'” – David “Honeyboy” Edwards
The most attractive here looks only Lou Gramm, the voice of FOREIGNER, so the champion of ‘SMITH homage remains “Not The Same Old Song And Dance”
Not the same with a new QUEEN tribute CD, “Stone Cold Queen”, which homes many high class names that deserve to be mentioned all – it’s worthy. Here are they, the songs and the players:
“Stone Cold Crazy” – Robin Zander, Steve Stevens, Billy Sheehan, Matt Sorum)
“Play The Game” – Marty Friedman, Chuck Wright, Gregg Bissonette, Paul Taylor
“Fat Bottomed Girls” – Joe Lynn Turner, Reb Beach, Tony Franklin, Eric Singer)
“Somebody To Love” – Geoff Tate, Doug Aldrich, Carmine Rojas, Aynsley Dunbar, Paul Taylor
“Crazy Little Thing Called Love” – Gunnar and Mathew Nelson, Albert Lee, Michael Porcaro, Pat Torpey
“Fight From The Inside” – Jack Blades, Jake E. Lee, Tony Levin, Tony Thompson
“You’re My Best Friend” – Jason Scheff, Richie Kotzen, Marco Mendoza, Vinny Appice, Paul Taylor
“I’m In Love With My Car” – Kip Winger, Steve Lukather, Phil Soussan, Frankie Banali
“Killer Queen” – Glenn Hughes, Pat Thrall, Stu Hamm, Carmine Appice, Paul Taylor
“Spread Your Wings” – Tommy Shaw, Dweezil Zappa, Tim Bogert, Steve Ferrone, Derek Sherinian
“We Will Rock You” – Jack Russell, Bruce and Bob Kulick, Jeff Pilson, Mikkey Dee.
This one should be a great companion to the “Dragon Attack of some years ago.
