So this is a strange album with very good musicians.
Joe has the A-side,
Stevie's has the B. And 3 from Steve Vai's songs originally are on David Lee Roth's first album. So the track selection is very wrong, but here are great musicians.

Let's see the tracks:
"Always with Me Always with You" by Bruce Kulick. The ex-Kiss guitarist has a totally different style than Satriani, but he made the job well.
"Surfing with the Alien" by ex-Ozzy/Badlands guitarist Jake E. Lee. Good job again. Richard Kendrick plays all backing instruments including the drum programming too, and it sounds good. Richard plays on 5 more songs in this CD.
"Echo" - the best track in my opinion featuring guitar player Jimmy Crespo and Dave Ragsdale on violin.
"Summer Song" by Brad Gillis from Night Ranger (Joe's version much better).
"Friends" by Neil Zaza.
"Yankee Rose" from David Lee Roth album by the Enuff Z' Nuff. I never liked this band, and this version is far from the original.
"Shy Boy" is a star parade featuring Dokken guitarist George Lynch, and the singers Tony Harnell from TNT and Jason McMaster from Watchtower.
"The Attitude Song" - Richard Kendrick is the main man.
"Tender Surrender" - one of the most beautiful Stevie's song, here's by a blues guitarist Tony Janflone Jr, so his version is more bluesy.
"Tobacco Road" - this old standard in Stevie's style by Corey Craven.
So if you like the tribute albums, this is a good listenable album, but not a must-have.
