Music & Nightlife | Tribute CDs
I just happen to be in Sonoma county this week, so it was a nice surprise to pick up a local paper and see what The North Bay Bohemian says about the recent onslaught of tribute records. Here's what the paper had to say about our entry:
"Far more entertaining is The Sandinista! Project: A Tribute to the Clash. This two-CD love song to one of the most ambitious triple-album sets of the 1980s reaches artistically and more often than not hits the mark. Members of the Mekons and many of the insurgent-country artists that populate the feisty Bloodshot label roster make up the core of this project. The Smithereens, Camper Van Beethoven, former Clash collaborator Mikey Dread and Paisley Underground demi-god Steve Wynn also all get in their licks. The results are uneven, just like the original recording, but well worth checking out."
