Piano Tribute To Nirvana

Well it’s good. Having listened to some of the tracks I can say that this tribute can actually get you to 'nirvana'. If you are a major Nirvana fan you might want to stay clear. The songs are really quite soothing and peaceful. It is a great idea ( and I love it) when artists have their work reinterpreted by other musicians. One other thing like this that I own is a jazz tribute to Jimi Hendrix. There is also a string tribute to Nirvana which I haven’t heard but have heard good things about. I really do like covers of songs when they sound good and different. A list of covered songs that have been well done is:

· Bob Dylan: All Along the Watch Tower. Covered by Jimi Hendrix
