    <reviewbody>Certainly one of my favorite oddities of the internet from years ago, Wesley Willis has never failed to put a corrupted smile on my face when I hear his music. He is one frustrated guy, and I do believe that anyone and everyone will get some type of message out of his inspirational music. Sometimes, life just doesn't have to make sense to be great.</reviewbody>
    <reviewtitle>R.i.p. forever, Mister Willis</reviewtitle>

    <reviewbody>I'll keep this short: This album woops a camel's ass with a belt.  Sure, it isn't made by THE MAN himself, so I could never hold it to THOSE standards, but it still whoops a donkey's butt with a rubber hose.  The Variety of styles is the strongest point, some songs are merely okay while a good number really rock it to Russia.</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>This proves what we all knew already, that the open audio movement is here to stay.  Congratulations for all these bands hard work and to everyone else who worked so hard and diligently to put this outwhat a ridiculously fantastic album.  May creativity never die.

On the critical note - I noticed there wasn't a lot of real raw no frills indie minimal songs on there, which are my favorite as well as our pal's Wesley I would imagine?</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>of what this whole operation is about. I heard W.W. a long time ago and was intrigued. Now I see that his genius was lyrical, and these musicians have really fleshed this stuff out. Thank you!</reviewbody>
    <reviewtitle>Seems like a good example</reviewtitle>

    <reviewbody>This is really good stuff. Was my first download of mp3's on this archive. I wish there will be more musicians to join this thing.

Never heard about Wesley Willis before. But the songs made me to know more about this man.(?) (hope you all know what i mean) And I started to search and after I loved all the differen tunes I now know more. The person who is all behind this songs.

I hope you can find out too and enjoy as much as I did. And still do.

KEEP ON ROCKIN' Wesley</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>This is a rocking CD. It whips a mule's ass. Wesley Willis was a rock star to the max. The Bassturd song is really great, so are the vast majority of the others.
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
You can't kill rock music. Rock music will never die. Don't try to shatter it. Don't even try, you're gonna lose. 
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

    <reviewbody>Honestly, The tribute album was kind of crappy in comparison to the original.  The bands did not get very creative musically.  Too many slow country songs.  Not impressed....I would not recommend buying this album, unless it is the original Wesley Willis singing and playing.</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>allthought it was a good idea, this CD kinda sucked.  it would have been better if they didn't change the lyrics.  well, it would have been better if it was just Wesley singing it.</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>This was simply amazing. An excellent tribute to the late great Wesley Willis!

The CD starts with a smashing Scottish Punk cover, and never lets the listener down, with other fantastic covers ranging from Rockabilly to Hardcore to Emo and Punk. 

Add this CD to your collection if you haven't already!

    <reviewbody>To be honest I had never heard of Wesley Willis, I just listened to this album out of curiosity and really liked most of the songs. Obviosly I can't judge by the original stuff.</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>...I haven't even listened to all of this yet,but i am pretty fermiliar with Wes over the past 10yrs,and also fermiliar with those who don't understand him,and those who really truely cared for the man...And most of these bands on here,are people wesley him self admires,or has written songs about...But my main point of writing here,Is i just wonder if some of you may be a lil thickheaded...I mean,WHY else would you ask that a TRIBUTE ALBUM,contain...The origional music???...???...Have you EVER heard a TRIBUTE album,with the origional artist featured on it?!!?!??!...LMFAO</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>If you like Wesley Willis, this is a must have.  Nice variety of music styles, some fantastic covers, and even the less-than-great ones are fun.  I dare you to listen to "Suck a Cheetah's Ass" or "I Smoke Weed" on your headphones in public and try not to laugh so hard that people give you funny looks.</reviewbody>
