Fun Cd
They even made an album of Led Zepplin covers. Great White has done many cover songs throughout their career. This cd is a compilation of all their cover songs. It rocks. A fun cd.

I LOVE this album! The Zeppelin covers really shine, Russell's voice sounds eerily like a 25-year old Plant, but with more soul. I just purchased the MP3 download of "Recover", and I'm really only half way thru it.
Surprises: the Journey and Badfinger covers kick a$$, the Van Halen and Skynyrd ones do not.
No surprises: Tangled up in Blue still sucks, no matter who sings it; but every song on this album is listenable, and at least interesting. It is cool to hear Jack stretch his range.
Faves: B's & other Women combines 2 Stones songs with a Foreigner tune to make a completely new and amazing piece of sonic art.
I never cease to be amazed by this wonderful group of artists. They are not prudes, but avoided the pitfalls of drug-induced breakups. They seem carefree in concert, but maintain a wonderful work ethic. They have overcome adversity, death, and trial by fire to emerge as one of the true American treasures of Rock.
Buy this album! It is so much more than just some covers by an over-the-hill band; I think these guys just found some fresh air.


I really mean ''4.5'' stars
I realize Great White has been as bad as George Thorogood when it comes to doing covers , but these aren't bad at all. This is a disc you would pick more as a ''guilty pleasure'' than one of those in your top 10 you would take to the ''stranded on an island '' situation. At least you can say they inject a little creativity here by combining the Stone's ''Bitch'' with Foreigner's ''Women''into one song and mix electric and accoustic on it as well. ''Sin City'' is a a stand out cut also. I realize 5 stars is a stretch, but I think most people that like Great White and the bands they typically cover , will like this disc. .


Paramedic station 51! Need a rock 'n Roll Recover!
Either doing remakes of Zepplin, Ian Hunter, or Jefferson Airplane, Great White has done them all. If there was one band that has done the most covers, and continues to tell about it, it's Great White. So, it only makes sense to release a collection of renditions, Great White style. With remakes from the Cult's "Love Removal Machine," and even Van Halen's "Unchained. " This is a forminable release. True, Great White seems to leave nothing left sacred. But guess what? The songs rock!!! If there is any benifit in doing re-makes, it introduces songs to people who may have never heard the originals. Great White are general faithful to the originals, be it all in thier style. In the inner notes, it states that the songs were recorded in a two-track system. For a great live band like Great White, this is dualable. Great White kicks a** live. The only complaint I have is the additions of "Rock Me," and "Twice Shy. " Maybe these were early demos, but I'm not sure. Also, the live Zepplin songs are from thier "Great Zepplin Tribute Album. " Be it a small complaint, this collection will make a fine addition to your over all collection.
