Here on this tribute, like on many tribute recordings, some well-known and not so well-known musicians tackle the vibe that Beck created back in the seventies, doing some faithful renditions of his classic tunes from this same era, and some surprise mutations of his music as well. This CD serves as not only a tribute to Beck and his legend, but also serves as an opportunity to get exposed to some major talent that has perhaps gone unheard by the fans of such music. There are some guitarists on this CD, who have some outstanding solo recordings to their credit, which are just waiting to be heard, I am sure that fans of great instrumental music will enjoy this CD, as well as the talents of those involved.

Some of the musicians that I am well aquainted with are: Martone, Dave Martone that is, he does a great acoustical/electric version of Goodbye Pork Pie Hat, the Mingus tune Beck did on his Wired album. Martone has a few outstanding cds to his credit and plays highly progressive music, his solo material is reviewed here at Proggnosis. Carl Roa - fronts the maniacal Magic Elf band, who have often been compared with Steve Morse and The Dregs. Carl is a great musician and does a nice standard rendition of "You Know What I Mean". His Magic Elf is also reviewed here at the site. Jon finn, has the reputation as a great guitarist, having served as an instructor at the well-known Berklee School of Music, he has a couple of his cds reviewed here, and does a nice job doing the slide for the vintage Beck tune - Definitely Maybe.

Prashant Aswani and Greg Howe, tear up the song "Led Boots", sounding like Beck/Hammer and Walden all over again, but with a few extra cups of expresso. As stated earlier, this is a very entertaining cd, with some very memorable remakes of these all to familiar tunes, if you love Beck, and appreciate what an influence he has had on a ton of guitarists, RE-WIRED will offer you a look at some of the great talent that he has affected.
