Not all guitar legends but……This is a brilliant, eclectic mix of guitar based songs. OK they are not all legends and OK there are some standards not included BUT that is the beauty of it. Don’t read the track list and just play it and you will be continually suprised and delighted at what you hear. Robert Cray followed by Johnny Kidd & the Pirates. Howlin’ Wolf followed by Steppenwolf, Bonnie Raitt by Mayall. I bought this for my teenage son who is learning to play guitar - he loves it but he can’t get it out of my machine. Buy it today and smile for the next month!
A great buy
This CD is one of the best compilations I have ever bought. It has a great selection of music, the best selection of music in the world. It includes (which is great) some great songs I had not heard of before aswell. I think anybody undecided on whether or not to buy this album should get their card out and purchase immediatly.
Guitar Legends!?!?!?
An interesting compliation, however one has to ask… GUITAR legends? Ok, theres a fair bit of Clapton on here, but where are the biggest guitar legends of the last 30 years; Jimmy Page, David Gilmour, Mark Knopfler… And how can one place tracks like Layla and Johnny B. Goode alongside Status Quo!? The Kinks… good band, not “guitar legends”. There’s not even the original version of Walk This Way. Some very legendary songs, but few can be called “guitar legends”. If one could place two of Gary Moore’s songs and two or three Eric Clapton appearances in here, could there not have been made space for some proper guitar tracks. Any album claiming to be legendary but lacking Led Zeppelin should be instantaneously disregarded. The inclusion of Status Quo and Rainbow instantly disqualify this album from the “ultimate music” category. Perhaps if they changed the name of this album to “Some good songs” or “Guitar Legends and Others” it would get 4 stars. Jessica is a good choice however. This could have been condensed into one disk of incredibly good music and sold £3 cheaper.
