"VARIOUS ARTISTS - Only U.F.O. Can Rock Me: A Tribute To U.F.O.
(Deadline)
UFO holds a special place in the hearts of many the world over but in
the UK the band has near god-like status so it is fitting that the cream
of the British crop of Metal-heads and Hard-Rockers should come together
on this TRIBUTE.
For the most part the songs stay well within the recognizable confines
of the original with a liberty taken here and there for variety.  The
singers chosen for this disc must all belong to the greater UFO fan club
because each nails their vocal perfectly.  Doogie White (RAINBOW) is dead
on for “Too Hot to Handle” without trying to sound like Phil Mogg while
Lea Hart (FASTWAY) had me checking to see if it was actually Mogg singing
on “Lights Out.”  Paul DiAnno (IRON MAIDEN + KILLERS) shreds up a version
of “Shoot Shoot” making the song his own property and the furthest of the
bunch away from the template.Bernie Shaw (URIAH HEEP) stretches his pipes around a blazing version of “Natural Thing” which also features the hottest guitar on the whole disc.  There are performances here that go well beyond mere tribute to blatant idolatry with no weak link in the twelve-song chain.
Other featured artists on this tribute are; Phil Campbell (MOTORHEAD),                                                                     Steve Grimmett (GRIM REAPER), Jem Davis (UFO + FM), Pete Jupp (Samson +
FM), Ian Nash, Bernie Torme (GILLAN), Mick White (SAMSON), Nicky Moore
(MAMMOTH + SAMSON), Steve Overland (FM), Bob Skeat (WISHBONE ASH), Bill
Liesegang, Cliff Evans (TANK + KILLERS) and Ray Callcut.
If you are a fan of UFO then you will find this tribute both respectful
and exciting and if you have a penchant for tribute albums this will
certainly be among the best in your collection.
TRACK LISTING:  Long Gone, We Belong to the Night, Only you Can Rock Me,
Too Hot to Handle, Love to Love, Shoot Shoot, Doctor Doctor, Natural Thing, Let it Roll, Lights Out, Let it Rain, Rock Bottom."
