2018 release. Legendary King's X front-man Dug Pinnick will release Tribute to Jimi (Often Imitated but Never Duplicated) a special limited print tribute album to the legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix. Tribute to Jimi was recorded at Blacksound Studios, Pasadena, CA and was co-produced by Dug Pinnick and Michael Parnin and mastered by Kurdt Vanderhoof of Metal Church. About the release Dug states, "I've been wanting to do this for a long time, so when the idea was brought up to me, I couldn't wait to get started! We wanted to recreate the analog recording process as closely to the original recordings as possible, so we did our research and tried to use as many of the original effects and equipment that we could find. I'm very happy with how this turned out and I hope everyone enjoys listening to this music as much as I enjoyed recording it in memory of Jimi Hendrix!"

How a tribute should be done
This is a pretty amazing tribute to Jimi Hendrix. Dug Pinnick's voice sounds similar to Hendrix to begin and the band did an amazing job with the arrangements and sound. I wanted to hear more songs but the 8 songs on this CD pack a punch and do not stray far from what Jimi Hendrix originally created.

Jimi Would Approve this Message
Incredible release from dUg Pinnick! The painstaking efforts to recreate the majik of the original Hendrix tracks combined with dUg's soulful vocal stylings yields a set works with stunning integrity. The songs are re-imagined with spine tingling audio mojo that I'm sure has Jimi smiling from ear to ear from on high. Hoping dUg and team win a Grammy for this one.

Hendrix- Tribut vom King's X- Frontmann
Hendrix- Vergleiche gab es bei Doug "Dug" Pinnick schon immer. Nicht nur bei seiner Stammband King's X, sondern auch bei seinen Nebenprojekten, besonders mit Eric Gales und Thomas Pridgen. Nun nimmt Pinnick sich acht Songs des Meisters selbst vor. Unterstützt wird er dabei u.a. von Drummer Mike Hansen und den Gitarristen Tracey Singleton und Tommy Baldwin.Das resultierende Album ist erwartungsgemäß hochprofessionell und musikalisch ohne jeden Zweifel überzeugend, sowohl was das angejazzte "Up from the Skies" als auch was das rockige "Voodoo Child" betrifft. Pinnicks Timbre passt auch sehr gut zu den Songs. Nicht jedes Hendrix- Solo wird krampfhaft notengenau kopiert, sondern die Gitarristen bringen auch ihre eigenen Elemente ein. Trotzdem weiß ich nach dem Hören nicht genau, warum ich mir die CD gekauft habe. Obwohl ich Pinnick total großartig finde und seine Karriere seit den späten Achtzigern verfolge, fügt er doch dem Hendrix- Erbe im Grunde nichts Neues hinzu.Für Pinnick war dieses Album möglicherweise eine Herzensangelegenheit, aber die Originale bleiben natürlich unschlagbar. Ich sag mal vier Sterne und hoffe, dass irgendwann doch noch ein neues King's X- Studioalbum erscheint.

amazingly authentic Jimi Hendrix sound!!
I am very impressed by the overall recording 'sound'... it actually sounds like Jimi Hendrix's recordings from the late 60's...very well performed by all on the album...my only disappointment is that there's only 8 songs!! Go for another four Dug!!
