Various Artists - This is Your Life (Ronnie James Dio Tribute)

Presented, for your listening pleasure of course, is a tribute album to the one and only Ronnie James Dio! Here we have friends and former band mates paying tribute to the fallen man with the bigger then life voice with a career spanning track listing from his days in Sabbath, Rainbow and Dio. Top notch performances from Metallica to Doro and the Scorpions as well as once in a lifetime super groups that joined for the one song. Standouts include "Neon Knights", "The Last in Line", "The Mob Rules", "Rainbow in the Dark", "Starstruck", "The Temple of the King", "Egypt (The Chains are Off)", "Holy Diver", "Catch the Rainbow", "I", "Man on the Silver Mountain" and "Ronnie Rising Melody". Along with some great artwork that is just as epic as the album, Dio's "This is Your Life" is included....only befitting and awesome....it's a beautiful song. There may never be another voice like Dio but, his legacy and talent will live on forever.
