VA - Many Faces of David Bowie (3 CD, 2016/FLAC)


David Bowie was an icon. A legend. A musical chameleon. Some even say that he was a genius. Like Lennon and Elvis before him, when Bowie passed away on January 10th, 2016, it was the end of an era. The rock 'n' roll landscape that he helped create is now vastly different now that he is gone. However, it is time to celebrate his life and the music he left behind.

 On this special three CD set, his legacy is celebrated in performances by his former bandmates, collaborators and even the man himself. This release features songs written or covered by Bowie played by many of the artists he called friends: Iggy Pop, Tony Visconti, Ian Hunter, Mick Ronson, Reeves Gabrels, Mike Garson, Angie Bowie, Woody Woodmansey and many others. There are even some tracks performed by his former band The Spiders From Mars. To top it all off, David himself is featured as guest vocalist or producer on a handful of these recordings. So, raise a toast to the Starman and enjoy this triple disc dosage of David!
