The first cd is very good. Sometimes tributes come out so-so but this one was very good.

The highlights for me outside of the Deliverance performed tracks:

Oil – Attack (w/ Ron Rinehart, Blake Nelson, Jason Vanderpal & James ‘JJ’ Jenkins)
Applehead / Fasedown – Belltown (w/ Greg Minear, Michael Phillips, Jim Chaffin & Tim Kronyak)
Lambs Among Wolves – Greetings of Death (w/ Glen Rogers, Daniel Cordova& Roy Z)
Stricken – No Time
P / C / W – What a joke (Michael Phillips, Jim Chaffin, Scott Waters, Tim Kronyak)
Ghostemple – If we faint not (features Josh Kramer of Saint & the members of Templar)
Faith Factor – Weapons of our warfare
Venia – Desperate Cries
Days of Affliction – River Disturbance
Eternal Decision – Belltown (Marking the first time the band has recorded since they disbanded)

I'm still listening to the first disc. I got as far as FaceUltiFied's cover of What a Joke, which sounds really really good. It's is stinking heavy. Great job by those guys. Hope to have it finished by the weekend. happy

Thanks. I like the way that song came out. It's heavy as a tank coming at you with all guns blazing! Deliverance - Temporary Insanity Update (It is Finished!) - Page 2 11840

I've gotten through the first half and every song has been pretty damn cool, but my favorite sp far is the Grave Robber track.

I think this tribute is one of the better tributes. Good job done by all!

Jimmy P. Brown wrote:: Greetings my CMR Family...

I have to first say that I finally received my copy of "A Salute to Deliverance"... WOW... I am floored and humbled and unbelievably honored... The packaging is top notch! It was really well done and I cannot begin to thank you all here at the CMR and Bill Bafford at ROXX for realizing this... It is really wonderful and I thank you...

Thoughts on Disc 1:

1 & 2. Deliverance 2010 tracks (Flesh & Blood and In U)...
For balding aging rockers, these guys still sound good... All except that Jimmy Brown guy... You can tell all his weight gain has obstructed his abilty to play guitar and sing... Its a wonder he can even walk... Otherwise, pretty good for aging rockers...

3. OIL - Attack
WOW! I was floored... What a cool version of this song... The vocals are great and overall energy is excellent!

4. APPLEHEAD - Belltown
Man, I have always been a fan of Greg Minier from the time of The Crucified, and when he did his first solo record titled Minier, the of course Applehead... He is just an amazing talent! I had forgotten how killer of a singer Greg is! He always shred on the guitar, but man as a vocalist, he is simply amazing! This version of Belltown just left me stunned!!! Thank you Greg!!!

5. LAMBS AMONG WOLVES - Greetings of Death
Awesome!!! I listened to this and went, WHOA! Glenn Rogers was kind enough to take time out his very busy touring schedule to honor his ol' chums in the "D" with his rendition of G.o.D. Glenn and I always had fun with this one live... Glenn is a six string slayer! His talent is ever present and I didn't realize what a great singer he is! I guess the only thing I ever heard him sing was "Speckled Bird" from the first demo... LOL... But Glenn and Company shred!!! Thank you so much Glenn, especially the kind words on the insert...

6. STRICKEN - No Time
These guys nailed it! And then some... Man, another great singer!!! And the band just breathed some new life into this 24 year old song! What an honor... Thank you Gentlemen...

7. FaceUltified - What a Joke
Ok... It would be goofy of me to praise the music in this, seeing that it is done by my favorite guys to jam with! Mike Phillips, Jim Chaffin & Tim Kronyak who happen to be in Deliverance as well as Facedown! LOL... But I was so excited to hear Scott Waters on this track, and MAN I wasn't disappointed at all! Scott took this track to a whole new level with the Facedown boys and SUPER HEAVIED and already heavy song to begin with! It shreds from start to finish! The only thing that I missed was the main hook of the song during the intro, mid and end sections... But Scott, Mike, Jim and Tim's performance are TOP NOTCH!!! Thank you guys for the honor!!!

8. GRAVE ROBBER - Awake
At first, I was scared... Then I realized what song these guys were attempting... They used the old way we used to begin the song live which I thought was GREAT! But overall I think that GR shred this song HARD!!! I definitely dig this rendition a lot!!!

9. GHOSTEMPLE - If We Faint Not
This song came on and I was thinking WOW!!! I dig everything about this!!! And Josh Kramer (who I might add is one of the BEST singers I have ever heard) performance blew me away! He is so phenomenal! And the overall track just kicks major ass!!! Kudos to Ghostemple!!! I am flattered to have Josh singing on of my fav "D" songs!!!

10. FAITH FACTOR - Weapons of our Warfare
They took a classic "D" track and took it to a heavier energetic version that was very pleasing to the air! The funny thing is that I never thought Weapons was that great of a track, but listening to this version gave me a whole new appreciation of this track!!!

11. WHISPER FROM HEAVEN - Anymore
OK... I wasn't even sure of which song this one as I listened to it! Then the solo in the beginning made me realize that it was "Anymore"... I continued my listen and was blown away of how this band reinvented one of my favorite tracks I have ever written! Then the vocals kicked in, and I was floored with this wonderful, etherial, ghostly and powerful vocal performance! I have to say I listened to this track 3 times in a row! I am in love with it! I am not familiar with Whisper from Heaven (but am now a fan), but I cannot thank you enough for first, honoring me with this AMAZING re-work of this track and second, for executing this with amazing performance and beauty! It truly is a "whisper from Heaven" for me... Thank You... If ever you would like to work with me on a project, I would dig the opportunity! A duet with your lead singer would be an honor!

12. VENIA - Desperate Cries
The song started, and I was familiar with this one! But the style that VENIA did Deperate Cries in gave me chills!!! I was SOOOOO blown away at the incredible performance! They took what I considered my most progressive song and took in 100 steps higher!!! Again, like with WfH, the vocals blew me away!!! I was floored!!! This was another track I listened to 2-3 times in a row!!! I have always been a HUGE fan of female singers with unique and sweet styles! In pop music, Sarah McLachlin is a fav and in metal, Maria Brink from In This Moment. But the singer in VENIA is now among them as well as the vocalist from Whispers From Heaven... Anyway, this track just sends the chills! Musically, vocal performance, EVERYTHING!!! Thank you VENIA!!! And, if ever you want to work on a track together, I would love the opportunity!!!

13. DAYS OF AFFLICTION - River Disturbance
OK... I was afraid of hearing this... Only because I covet the songs on this disc, especially River Disturbance! Let me say, I was not horrified nor disappointed!!! I felt this to be a true to form homage that kept the song straight and executed well! I love the vocal performance on this as well as the guitarist nailed the solos that Jon and I did on the original track! I am VERY pleased with this and cannot say thank you enough for such an honoring!!!

14. GRAVE FORSAKEN - Bought by Blood
A very cool and unique take on this Weapons classic... One of my favorite tracks on the WooW CD... I think this version is unique and cool!!!

15. ETERNAL DECISION - Belltown
At first I kinda laughed at the fact that there are a few songs on this tribute done more than once. I have almost 100 or more songs in the "D" catalog, so why would there be any song doubled? But when I heard this version, MAN!!! It kicks me in the teeth!!! These guys just nailed it, and nailed it HARD!!! I really loved APPLEHEAD's version, but I really really love this version!!! Thank you E.D.

A HUGE thanks to Bill Bafford and my Man Artie Parker for even thinking of making this happen!!!

and a GIGANTIC thank you to all the contributing Artist's!!! My heart is overwhelmed and overjoyed!!!

I will review the 2nd disc when I am through with this one in my player... I am still enjoying this!!!

Love on Ya...

I like Disc one a lot two. Disc two is spotty and the styles vary so much it's hard to just listen to from beginning to end. Even the Deliverance song on Disc 2 is a bit odd.

It's a David Bowie cover, isn't it? I've had that song in mp3 format since it was newly recorded.

Even more weird is the inclusion of an Oil track that is not a D cover, as far as I can tell. Cool song, but why is it on this disc?

It is a D cover. It's off "As Above, So Below". I don't really care for that one as much as "Attack".
