    heard about this a few weeks back. I am really looking forward to it. I love Little Roy...his song Tribal War is a roots reggae classic. I think he did the nirvana songs justice...not just a gimmick.

  • I liked it. It's not like he's dissing Cobain or anything. It's done out of tribute/homage.

    Nirvana to get tribute album devoted to "Nevermind" (and "About a Girl")


    Reimagine Music will release "Come As You Are: A 20th Anniversary Tribute To Nirvana's Nevermind" on Oct. 25, an album tribute featuring a select few of the biggest and very best alternative and indie rock artists.

    Reimagine Music sought out some of the top artists in alternative and indie rock: Hawthorne Heights, Story Of The Year, Anthony Raneri (of Bayside), Finger Eleven, The Album Leaf, Margot & The Nuclear So and So's, mewithoutYou, Maps and Atlases, Murder By Death and Pitty.

    "Come As You Are" is produced by the acclaimed Jim Sampas whose other tributes to seminal albums such as Bruce Springsteen’s "Nebraska" w/ Johnny Cash, Aimee Mann, Ben Harper and others; and The Beatles’ "Rubber Soul" w/ Sufjan Stevens, Ted Leo, Low, and others, as well as the Jay Farrar & Benjamin Gibbard album "One Fast Move Or I’m Gone: Music From Kerouac’s Big Sur." I really enjoyed the "Nebraska" tribute, as it offered a diverse look at the record.

    1. The Dutch Masters (featuring Brent and Courtney of The Dandy Warhols) “Smells Like Teen Spirit”
    2. mewithoutYou “In Bloom”
    3. Civil Twilight “Come As You Are”
    4. Story Of The Year “Breed”
    5. Hawthorne Heights “Lithium”
    6. Finger Eleven “Polly”
    7. Will Dailey “Territorial P*****gs”
    8. Maps and Atlases “Drain You”
    9. Murder By Death “Lounge Act”
    10. Pitty “Stay Away”
    11. The Album Leaf “On A Plain”
    12. Margot and the Nuclear So and So’s “Something In the Way”
    13. Anthony Raneri (of Bayside) “About A Girl”

    Years ago I heard a reggae band doing covers of all kinds of songs and doing them really well. They even played Clapton's Wonderful Tonight (I song I loathe) and made it kick ass.

    Thanks for this link. Looking forward to hearing these songs reworked as reggae.
