    Album Description

    Out-of-print in the US! Tribute album to the '60s legends, now sadly dwindled down to the duo of Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey. Even before the '60s came to a close, the Who were a certified success around the world, but the band took it even further in the '70s and beyond. This compilation features Cast ('The Seeker'(, Ocean Colour Scene '(Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere)', Paul Weller ('Circles'), David Bowie ('Pictures Of Lily'), Pearl Jam '(The Kids Are All Right'), Fastball ('The Real Me'), UnAmerican ('Naked Eye'), Stereophonics ('Who Are You'), Phish ('5:15'), Sheryl Crow ('Behind Blue Eyes') and The Who themselves covering 'Substitute' live with Stereophonics' vocalist Kelly Jones and many more. Edel.

    4 out of 5 stars Passion for the who.......2006-05-02

    Interesting record. These very different artists having in common their passion for the who.
    In my oppinion, the versions I like most are Bowie?s, Weller?s and Sterophonics, but all of them have something good.
    If you like the who, can be nice listening to other groups singing their songs, although I hate comparisons.

    3 out of 5 stars A tribute?.......2005-10-28

    This CD isn't bad, but it could've been a lot better. Some of the songs were recorded live, while others are studio. It is obvious that the selections were not recorded specially for a tribute CD. But that's not the biggest problem with this collection. The biggest problem is that while this CD is supposed to be a tribute to the Who, one of the songs features the Who! It's like they're paying tribute to themselves?! This CD does contain some good Who interpretations, but it's not enough to save this compilation.

    2 out of 5 stars Ho-hum.......2002-07-28

    I have yet to hear a "tribute" album that is worth the time it takes to listen, but I still get drawn into buying them.

    Here's the problem with "tribute" records: if the artists go the note-for-note reproduction route, what's the point? Who cares if Phish can reproduce "5:15"? (They don't quite, by the way. They play the same notes, but all of the passion of the original is sucked out of the performance, and the vocals sound like they were done after running a marathon) If you want to hear the original, you listen to the original...right?

    If the artists go for reinterpretation, who cares? How many people listen to the Who's version of "Pictures Of Lily" and wishes it had been slower and sung in a smug monotone, ala David Bowie's version here? Classic songs done differently--with some very rare exceptions, like Hendrix's "All Along The Watchtower" and Joe Cocker's "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window"--don't work.

    Perhaps most dissapointing of all is the generally lazy vocals on this CD. Eddie Veder always sounds like he's asleep on his feet, but Sheryl Crow, David Bowie, and the singers for Phish and Fastball all sound like they phoned it in too.

    Paul Weller comes off best here, but that may just be because he has spent his entire career imitating the Who.

    2 out of 5 stars Save your money.......2001-11-28

    This disc is kind of a slapped-together cd - a low-rent version of your typical tribute album. Pearl Jam, Phish, and Kelly Jones' tracks are all recorded live, and not for the purpose of this cd - they just happened to be recorded well enough to be included. This cd lacks a cohesive listen, and most of the tracks are pretty uninspired or are note-for-note imitations of the original - just with a different singer...
    I bought this to hear other artists take Who material and make it their own, and what this mostly sounds like is a 'karaoke with the stars' cd.
    David Bowie's track is the most inspired, but..c'mon, he did this same sorta thing with the same-era Who music on his Pinups album in the early 70s.

    3 out of 5 stars Pictures of Ziggy.......2001-08-03

    Great songs, and overall good performances, but most of these versions are close to note-for-note versions of the originals. The Bowie version of "Pictures of Lily" is the one real departure, and it works on several levels. The tempo, production, and instrumentation are reminiscent of Ziggy-era Bowie (especially "All the Young Dudes" or "Ziggy Stardust"). In this context, the lyrics take on extra meaning--you can imagine the young boy "relieved" by the pictures of Lily Langtry on the wall inspired to grow up to be a cross-dressing glam rocker. A great version, and one truer to the spirit of a good cover--respecting the original, but making it your own.
