Like many fans, one of the things you can always love about the music of has been his frequent refusal to play nice. While could write with tenderness and compassion when the spirit moved him, he was more likely to sound sarcastic, spiteful, venomous, and generally announce (loudly and with enthusiasm) that the emperor was naked given the appropriate subject, and he wasn't afraid to take on his friends and collaborators when so inclined. Given 's recent passing, it should surprise no one that a handful of his friends, family and admirers have assembled a tribute album, but while brims with obvious affection and good will for its subject, in this case that's something of a problem. For the most part, focuses on the kinder, gentler, and while the artists in question perform the songs with obvious passion and admiration, 's 'Searching For a Heart,' 's 'Don't Let Us Get Sick' and 'Keep Me in Your Heart' by and speak of a sweetness that wasn't at all representative of the man's work. And while some artists on-board throw a few more rough edges into their performances - 's nicotine-rasp version of 'Reconsider Me,' and 's sharp run through 'Poor Poor Pitiful Me,' and a minimalist acoustic take on 'Splendid Isolation' from - even these sound oddly defanged, and there are several flat-out misfires, such as 's poorly recorded meander through 'Mutineer,' and 's karaoke-style reading of 'Werewolves of London.' Significantly, the album's two strongest tracks are the ones that truly capture 's wild hair spirit - an admirably eccentric take on 'Monkey Wash, Donkey Rinse' from and, and a blazing and noisy assault on 'Ain't That Pretty at All' from the reunited. Is the musical equivalent of a testimonial dinner in which a number of folks who knew and loved share warm memories of their friend.

The trouble is, the man who wrote 'Play It All Night Long,' 'Detox Mansion' and 'I'll Sleep When I'm Dead' merited something more along the lines of a Friar's Club Roast, in which a little bile got mixed in with the words of love, which truly was the sort of world wrote about.
