Somewhere in Middle America, in a coffee bar, someone came up with a good idea. Unfortunately, this is not the case with our story here. Somewhere, someone came up the ingenious idea of taking Aussie hard rockers AC/DC's magnum opus, Back in Black, and doing a song-by-song tribute album. But not having just anyone cover these songs, oh no. What this album called for was a bunch of watered-down, no-talent aspiring DiFranco/Crow clones doing acoustic "reinterpretations." The results stop just short of being as thrilling as watching the OJ trial. Not only is this the worst conceptual nightmare since Baywatch Nights, it's one of the most under thought, poorly executed records of the modern age. Having these women perform these songs in a such a marshmallow, saccharine-coated, tea-sipping, let's-sit-around-the-campfire-and-talk-of-our-feelings way is not only sacrilege, it's just downright obviously wrong. Anyone with a shred of musical decency let alone common sense could easily recognize this fact (save ICP fans). Backed in Black strips away the feeling you got hit in the face with a cinder block and replaces it with a big oversized baggy wool sweater, a hot cup of chai, and warm hug from your best friend. Producer Henri Yonet should be severely fined and made to promise he'll never go near a recording console or mixing board ever again. Fellas, if you're looking for a record that can emasculate you within 30 seconds, you've come to the right place. Seek elsewhere or risk contamination of being a total wuss. ~ Rob Theakston An AC/DC Tribute: Backed In Black Music An AC/DC Tribute: Backed In Black Songs | 1. | Hells Bells - Sunny Hodge |

An AC/DC Tribute: Backed In Black
$11.18
The goal of Leona Lewis' 2007 debut Spirit was to prove that an X Factor winner could be a phenomenon not just in the U.K. but in the rest of the world. The goal of her second album, 2009's Echo, is to prove that success was no fluke, to build upon "Bleeding Love" and turn Lewis into an actual diva. Certainly, Echo in any of its incarnations -- its song listings are tailored for individual markets, with the U.K. getting a cover of Oasis' "Stop ...

An AC/DC Tribute: Backed In Black
$25.79
This double-CD set records the festival that marked Fairport Convention's 35th anniversary. With contributions from surviving members and ex-members, the band took the opportunity to revisit many of the highlights of its back catalog. Judy Dyble, who preceded the late Sandy Denny as the band's singer, performs "One Sure Thing," Ian Matthews, who went on to a successful career of his own after his Fairport apprenticeship, sings "Time Will Show the Wiser," and the similarly well-fixed Richard Thompson takes over the lead vocal on "Jack O' Diamonds." Thompson's touching and strangely prophetic "Meet on the Ledge" provides an appropriate closer to this emotional rollercoaster of a set.
The annual Cropredy Music Festival is one of the most important events on the yearly calendar for fans of British folk music; organized by members of Fairport Convention, it's not just a three-day concert but a gathering of the tribes for followers of the U.K.'s most venerable folk-rock outfit, and as Fairport traditionally closes out the last day of the festival with a marathon performance, it's not uncommon for former members of ...
