Stone Free: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix
Stone Free: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix is a 1993 album recorded by various artists in tribute to Jimi Hendrix. The artists were drawn from many genres of popular music. Contributors include his classic rock contemporaries Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck, blues man Buddy Guy, classical violinist Nigel Kennedy, alternative pop/rock bands Belly and Spin Doctors, hip hop artists P. M. Dawn, among others. According to the liner notes, the "artists were encouraged to not only record one of their own personal favorites but to also place their stamp on Jimi's songs." Several artists recorded radically different interpretations, particularly, P. M. Dawn, The Cure, Nigel Kennedy and Pat Metheny. Some artists, on the other hand, recorded versions that were rather similar to the originals.
The band M.A.C.C. is made up of Mike McCready, Jeff Ament, Matt Cameron, and Chris Cornell. The cover of "Hey Baby " is their only known recording. All four members of this group had previously worked together on the Temple of the Dog project, and the song "Hey Baby " was added to Temple of the Dog's live set in 2016.
Eric Clapton's backing group on the title track includes the three original core members of Chic and is the last recording on which all three played together.Track listing
