Notes


A confused tribute album more worthwhile as a curiosity than as an album, Stone Free gathers several artists with nothing in common other than the fact that they have recorded a Hendrix tune. Some of the results are surprisingly good (Belly's "Are You Experienced?," in particular), but most of it is cringe-inducing (Spin Doctors and Body Count) or predictably rote (Eric Clapton and the Pretenders).
