Guide Review - Various Artists - Dressed In Black

Some of the best of the best country & Americana artists came together on this disc to honor the Man in Black, who has for a full 5 decades forged a trail through music, defying genre & style to become a Legend, loved by rock, country & blues fans equally, known and respected by anyone who ever picked up a guitar, sat down at a piano, or fiddled with a bow.

The album has 18 tracks, filling almost 74 minutes on a standard CD. Presented by a collection of great singers who happen to also be songwriters makes it magnificent.

To say it's great music is a tremendous understatement. There's absolutely no way you can go wrong here. Tribute albums may be pretty much a dime a dozen these days, but this one's something special. Grab it and enjoy it.
