SLASH, JOE PERRY Featured On 'Les Paul & Friends - A Tribute To A Legend' - Sep. 24, 2008

Immergent Records will release "Les Paul & Friends - A Tribute To A Legend" on September 30. This "tribute" to the beloved living music legend Les Paul, produced by Bob Cutarella (ERIC CLAPTON, STING, JOSS STONE, ALISON KRAUSS, JEFF BECK), includes performances from Slash, Joe Bonamassa, Richie Sambora, Joe Perry, Peter Frampton, Jeff Golub, as well as vocalists Joan Osborne, Edgar Winter, Mick Hucknall from SIMPLY RED, Johnny Rzeznik, Lisa Fischer, and many others. Notably Les Paul himself plays alongside his protÃ©gÃ©s on several tracks. Sadly, it was during the post-production of this CD that famed barefoot guitarist Hiram Bullock passed away, making this his last official recording.

Les Paul can still be found playing his legendary namesake guitar at his standing Monday night gig in Manhattan, a further testament (if any was needed) to the fact that he has given his life over to music. "A Tribute To A Legend" is a fitting honor to the genre-crossing icon with an eclectic collection of musicians spanning the musical spectrum. From the hard-hitting thunder of Joe Bonammassa's blues-shredding guitar, to the fluid, ethereal, quasi-blow-by-blow guitar groove provided by six-string icon Slash, this CD covers the gamut of guitar and recording techniques. Solid tributes, most of which also include the 93-year old Les Paul are turned in by Johnny Rzeznik covering U2's "All I Ever Want Is You"; Joan Osborne's smoky rendition of "I Don't Wanna Be With Anybody But You"; and even Richie Sambora's spiritual vocal on "Great Hall Of Fame". Fans of instrumental music will marvel at tracks by noted guitarist Jeff Golub, Chieli Minucci and Steve Lukather's fluid work on the Todd Rundgren classic "I Saw The Light", and much more.

Agreed. Slash's playing on this shows he is second to none for emotive guitar playing. I hope this is a sign of what his solo album will be like.

He certainly does seem to be on form. I think the next VR (if there is one of course) will def be a departure from the Weiland compromised albums. Hopefully they'll get back to doing what they do best, kicking ass Appetite style. They just need the right frontman, but in this day and age they seem few and far between. Call Robert Plant, hes just written off further Zep activity once again...

Listening to this tune again.... Good work Keep wiping the floor with the naysayers.

This tune is one of his greatest ever I think..... Its so emotional and beautiful.

Its never too late to listen to VR - they have cds available! Admittedly there were better live, when Scott wasnt monged at least. Whilst some of their stuff is really good, and theres a few blistering Slash solos on the albums, theres very little that matches his GNR work. However I think the man will back back all guns blazing on his solo album and next VR album (hopefully). Hes really been on form as of late.
