Query: Less Than The Sum Of Its Parts

To find a stellar cast such as this assembled on one recording, one would expect stellar performances. Well, you better sit down...I wanted to like this CD, but I find it difficult to endure to the end. There are some truly wince-inducing moments to be had here. I mean, every musician has a bad night or three, but surely to gawd, over the course of a tour, there had to be some better versions of these songs than those presented. In fact, I can't believe some of these artists allowed these performances to be released.Joe Walsh singing Desperado? Simon Kirke singing Paul Rodgers tunes? Come on. I suppose I should just be glad that Ringo didn't attempt to sing The Long and Winding Road.To be fair there are some decent (even good) performances on this CD.You just need to be prepared for some major league sorting.Good luck.
