Inspiration - Yngwie Malmsteen (blues, metal, single, album, fan)

As you may tell from the album title, this album has song covers from a few number of artists that have influenced Yngwie Malmsteen (Jimi Hendrix, Uli Jon Roth, etc.) in his playing. I must say, he did a very good job on them. The main problem is what he loves doing with the songs, and that is incorporating his shred into all of the songs; however, he does such a nice job to keep the shred sound like the rest of the song. For example, Spanish Castle Magic is a blues song, but he added shred to it, but then again he made the shred sound as bluesy as possible. Bottom line is that Yngwie made extraordinary covers and even added his own playing in it while still keeping the feel of the song the same.

If you enjoy the classics and shred, check this album out. Or even if you the classics but not shred or vice-versa, still check it out, because it's worth it.
