Professional Reviews: Rolling Stone (2/24/94, p.56) - 3 Stars - Good - "...STONE FREE demonstrates an incredible love and respect for Hendrixs music--the performances bring us closer to what keeps that music alive and send us back to Hendrixs recordings...."

Q (1/94, p.105) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...This Hendrix tribute will, undoubtedly, annoy many of his boringly excited fans. So much the better...."

Musician (3/94, p.91) - "...The peers and disciples assembled for STONE FREE: A TRIBUTE TO JIMI HENDRIX arent just saluting the composer--theyre celebrating the whole artiste, a daunting venture indeed...the folks who dont play by the book provide a bigger rush....Tanya Donnely suggests an anxious kid, exploring strange new ground..."
