>From the creator of a now-defunct Bjork tribute album: why he stopped the project. I >can see how this might pertain to 'A Case of Joni'...but hope it doesn't!
"Ask any reviewer and I think they'll tell you: tribute albums are the lowest life form of music there is. Imitation is not the sincerest form of flattery when it comes to popular music. Unless the artist performing the cover is more renowned than the original songwriter it is at first glance suspect, cavalier, and disingenuous. After making the decision to commission songs from musicians in the community of indiepop/rock I started to get cold feet." Andrew Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now
