Amazing!
author: Dale Frise
This is a truly remarkable effort. Who is this guy, Todd Rundgren, or Paul McCartney, playing all the instruments except drums on ONE song? Unbelievable! I would like to hear more singing from Gary, although the other singers are great. This is a REAL SURPRISE, very well done. Thanks.

Tribute
author: Barbara Alt
I'm 75 but I liked just about everything on this album even though it is not my generation's music. I'm also related to Gary but would not let that influence my taste in music. I know he is talented and deserves a tribute of his own.

A classy, tuneful tribute
author: Joel Samberg
What a wonderful way to say "thank you" to all those artists who gave us so much emotional companionship over the years. Not only do the songs on TRIBUTE pay homage to many of the greats, but as originals they're also enjoyable musical presents that should have a place in any personal CD library. Also, it's a comfort to know that I wasn't the only kid on Long Island (35 years ago) who eagerly switched between the Beatles and Bacharach, between Carole and Corea, when the mood called for it. Back then, there were many musical 'elites' in school who scoffed at some styles and genres and the people who appreciated them. Gary Alt's TRIBUTE give those elites lifelong detention, while the rest of us are given lifelong extra credit--just as this terrific CD project deserves credit, too.

And then some too...

This is by far the most ambitious musical project Sir Alt has undertaken to date. It is clear from this offering that he has been paying attention to his musical tutors. In fact, there are a couple of things he could teach them. Yet, despite all this Gary still has the modesty to represent himself as a stick figure in comparison to the so-called icons of popular music.
There is certain to be something here for everyone who loves music and enjoys the work of a true artisan. I'll be popping this one into my player for years to come.
