CD ReviewsGreat musicians add new slant to Pink Floyd standards John S. Harris | Memphis, TN | 03/07/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) "Truth be told, I bought this solely because Tubes frontman Fee Waybill has a song on it. But the rest of the disc is surprisingly good and well-produced. Steve Lukather of Toto sings and plays guitar on a surprisingly decent version of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", and Toto bandmate Bobby Kimball handles "Have A Cigar" pretty well too. Even Chicago lead singer/bassist Jason Scheff gets in on the act, nailing "Run Like Hell".The standout is "Comfortably Numb" as covered by Billy Sherwood, with backing vocals from Chris Squire of Yes and drums by Alan White, also of Yes.Some great guitarists join the fray, including Dweezil Zappa, Bob and Bruce Kulick, Gary Hooey, Jeff "Skunk" Baxter", and Eliot Easton.Add this to the recent spate of rockin' tribute albums like "Not The Same Old Song and Dance" (Aerosmith tribute) and "Little Guitars" (Van Halen tribute).I doubt die-hard Floyd fans will totally reject this CD out of hand. It is a bit disconcerting at first to hear cover versions of timeless Floyd songs, but these eleven tracks grow on you very quickly.Worth checking out!" Very High Quality Mr. Potato Head | Los Angeles, California USA | 04/14/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Not only do I own most of the Pink Floyd tribute CDs that have been released, I'm also the Executive Producer of "A Fair Forgery of Pink Floyd" the most recent 2 CD Pink Floyd compilation and the manager of Which One's Pink?, LA's Pink Floyd tribute band. Aside from Pink Floyd themselves, the All Star CD contains the best renditions of Pink Floyd songs that I've ever heard. Of particular note is a truly stunning version of Any Colour You Like featuring an incredible guitar performance by Robben Ford and very interesting keys from Mike Porcaro. Also, Breathe with Skunk Baxter and Robin McAuley is played with a very nice, almost Nawlins style, down home feeling. Yes, the track selection is very much "greatest hits" but the performances are hot. I believe this is an essential for Pink Floyd fans." More individuality = better tribute album John S. Harris | 09/23/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "This is one of the better Bob Kulick/Billy Sherwood produced tribute albums. Rather than remaking the originals note-by-note, there are some unique variations here, and the quality of musicians involved is better than on many of their albums. In particular, they let the individual traits of the musicians come through the songs, so one gets Tony Franklin's fretless bass really singing along with a strong dose of Sherwood/Chris Squire vocal harmonies. Steve Lukather also contributes a fine version of SOYCD wherein he handles both vocals and guitar. Not essential, but a nice effort nonetheless."
