Guitar lovers will relish this 36-track double CD though, personally, I think an 18-track single CD would have provided a tighter and more consistent set.

There is loads to enjoy - understated songs like Big Country's Chance and Nils Lofgren's Shine Silently; the dreamy guitar solo of Snowy White's Bird Of Paradise; the hard rock of Joe Walsh's Turn To Stone and Wishbone Ash's Jail Bait; and classic tracks from Lynryd Skynryd, Matthews' Southern Comfort and Peter Frampton.

And the album's title track - a version by the Jeff Healey Band rather than The Beatles' original - is excellent.
