Malmsteen is rejoined by a bevy of former bandmates for an all-covers album paying tribute to some of the guitarist's more recent heroes. There are four Deep Purple covers (pioneering neo-classicist Ritchie Blackmore was a major influence), as well as material from Rainbow, Rush, Scorpions, and even Kansas. Malmsteen also offers his first studio version of Jimi Hendrix's "Manic Depression," long a live favorite.
