Various Artists, Archives Vol. 4

Steve Vai's CD, Various Artists - Archives Vol. 4 is part of a series of discs that can contain anything from minor contributions that Steve has made to various other artists' recordings to bootlegs, B-sides, vault tapes and reshaped extrapolations of his past catalogs. It's sort of like a golden scrap pile. Devour with a silver spoon. Various Artists - Archives Vol. 4 is a collection of songs Vai has contributed to other projects and records including Public Image Ltd., tracks from the Hendrix tribute "In From The Storm" with the London Symphony Orchestra, Whitesnake, and a collaboration with Chick Corea from "The Songs Of West Side Story", among others. The CD booklet features Steve's commentary on each track.
