Product Description
The idea behind "The Mother Of All Tribute Albums" was to take the concept of tribute albums one step further. We allowed the 15 individual artists to choose the song and artist that they wanted to pay tribute to. The result is an eclectic and spirited performance by 15 top artists. We've got members of Tourniquet covering King's X; members of King's X covering U2; a "Veggie Tales" song; Larry Norman covering dc Talk's "Jesus Freak" and a cover of the Rich Mullins classics "Hold Me Jesus" (recorded before Rich died).
Review
"Puts a face to songs with a beauty all its own; even more beauty than just a mother could love." -- HM Magazine, May/June, 1998
A must-hear for any fans of the bands playing or even covered. Let's hope HM does it again. -- Phantom Tollbooth, August 14, 1998
If you enjoy records that mix various artists, this is worth the effort to find.
