  Little
Guitars: A Tribute to Van Halen is the
quintessential Van Halen tribute album. For
Van Halen purists, the disc's most outstanding
attribute is that it totally bypasses the Sammy
Hagar/Gary Cherone periods, focusing instead on
the original lineup of David Lee Roth, Michael
Anthony, Alex and Edward Van Halen. Instead
of employing the services of various established
bands, producer Bob Kulick puts together a unique
collection of artists to cover the material while
maintaining the spirit, energy and integrity of
the original versions. The pairing of musicians
for each song is in itself interesting.
This
is by far the best VH Tribute album to date.
No hype at all surrounding the release of this
album, so it might have slipped below your radar.
