Ronnie James Dio “This Is Your Life” tribute album… brief review…

Like most metal and rock fans, I too am a fan of Ronnie James Dio. I’ve been listening to his music for years through his solo career, Black Sabbath, etc. This is a tribute album that is up for a good cause. This album is to raise funds for RJD’s cancer fund, which all proceeds from this album will go to that.

This is an album that has 14 tracks. Songs covered by many metal legends and icons such as Anthrax, Tenacious D, The Scorpions, Corey Taylor, Metallica, Rob Halford, etc.

I listened to this album 2 or 3 times already and can’t get enough of it. It’s a pretty addicting album to listen to. If you want tight, upbeat, and heavy metal songs… you’ll get all that on this album just the way Ronnie would have wanted it. You can betcha there WILL be all kinds of sweet rhythm metal guitar playing, riffs, and guitar solos all over it. Plus, what’s most fun about the album is the singing. Every singer who sung on the album did an amazing job. Even Jack Black’s track with the Tenacious D, “The Last In Line”, which is a pretty amazing song. Ronnie James Dio himself sings a song on the final track, “This Is Your Life”.

If you want a badass rock album, definitely get this one. It’s definitely a must listen for any metal and Dio fan. They did a great job putting this album together and getting the old school metal sound. I think I’m gonna be listening to this album a lot. I love every song on it. I’m not into tribute albums that much but this is a real good one.
