Music reviews of Les Paul & Friends
Music Review: this cd rocks...all killer no filler....
Rating: 5 Stars
...this is one of the best tribute cds I have ever heard. The cover songs in some instances outdue the originals. Neal Schon and Beth Hart rock very hard and good. I think they give Led Zep a run for their money during Zep's prime. I really think everyone played/sang beautifully. even the mellower electronica moments are good too. Frampton shocked me how good that song was...then a Wings and U2 cover that were marvelous....
Also alot of the negative criticism is without foundation. The cd I purchased had a sticker quoting Rolling Stone mag that this is an excellent "rock and r&b cd"(which it is).
Les Paul has several instances where he is centerstage, and other times where he and the guest are blending styles. Also the supporting backup band kicks arse...
every performer shines on this release. simply beautiful...the following review from indie-music.com says it all:

Quote: "The energy and quality you'll hear from start to finish on this CD is remarkable."
By Keith "Muzikman" Hannaleck
"Les Paul is 90 years old now. It is amazing that the man is still rockin' after all these years. The only other person I can think of that performed at that age is Andreas Segovia - another great guitar player.
"Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Peter Frampton, Billy Gibbons, Buddy Guy, Steve Miller, and Keith Richards are a few of the legends that join the man that made it all happen for them. Paul is the first electronic wizard of the electric guitar. His innovations in sound and recording have changed music's performing and recording methods forever. This is his tribute from a few of the people that became famous because of his work.
"Les Paul & Friends is an incredible album. It is in fact one of the very best recordings of 2005. Paul plays on every track. I was stunned when I heard the quality and sound of this album. Each performer digs deep to give their very best on each track. There is no doubt each contributor felt inspired to be in the presence of such an icon.
"Some of the snippets from Les and Mary Paul's show are at the beginning of some of the tracks, which makes it more interesting and gives listeners a chance to hear a piece of history. Steve Miller's "Fly Like An Eagle," redone by Miller with the help of Paul, is a great remake of the classic rock track. Prior to the track, there is an actual recording of Miller singing as a little boy and Paul commenting on how he was going to go places. He was right on the money.
"Paul performs his well-covered tune "Caravan." He sounds bright and crisp for a 90 year old, bringing the classic track into modern times. Sam Cooke's incredible vocals make an appearance on the soulful "Somebody Ease My Troublin'' Mind," while Eric Clapton and Paul add some blistering blues-rock riffs. It is the most memorable track on the album. Everyone will have their own favorites I am sure, and there certainly are enough great songs to choose from, 16 to be exact, so take your pick.
"Ritchie Sambora does a killer job with "Let Me Roll It." His vocals are so impassioned and right on; he never sounded better. "Rock & Roll Hootchie Koo" matches the old guard Edgar Winter with the young buck Kenny Wayne Shepherd. They prove to be a lethal combination, as Winter sounds magnificent while Shepherd does his usual astounding string bending to give the song yet another rebirth.
"The energy and quality you will hear from start to finish on this CD is remarkable. When I first heard about it, my anticipation began immediately. I never felt let down once listening to this. The combination of familiar rock, blues, and pop tracks will surely attract a wide range of listeners.
"This album is all about Les Paul and the great artists that followed his example. It is a thrilling recording that will most definitely sell a truckload of copies, and I would not be surprised if it gets a Grammy nomination."

Artist: PAUL,LES & FRIENDS
Title: AMERICAN MADE WORLD PLAYED
Street Release Date: 08/30/2005
Genre: ROCK/POP
The range of artists stepping up to pay tribute to the master electric guitarist as he turns ninety is staggering. From '50s and '60s guitar slingers like Buddy Guy, Keith Richards, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, and Steve Miller to stars of subsequent decades like Billy Gibbons, Joe Perry, Richie Sambora, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd, they cross continents and generations. The songs celebrate the Les Paul guitar as well as the man. While he appears throughout, he's part of a generally raucous setting that leaves no volume knob unturned. The guests are often also the vocalists, but it's the guitars that carry the day. Purists may wag their fingers at the use of Sam Cooke's vocals in a contemporary recording, but Les Paul himself was never afraid of what new possibilities a tape recorder could unlock. --David Greenberger
