From the 70's right through to the 90's Genesis was one of the most consistently successful Rock acts on the scene. They enjoyed a longevity exceeded only by the likes of the Rolling Stones, in the process providing a launching pad for the superstardom of members Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel. Together with Yes, they were also without doubt the most influential of all progressive rock bands. Over the years Genesis then succeeded a victorious transition from theatrical art rock to the mainstream Pop market and the pinnacle of hit parades. Our Own Special Way, A Tribute To Genesis, contains inspired interpretations of memorable Genisis songs, performed by recognised progressive rock artists such as Brand X Ii, Mother Gong, The Flower Kings, Nick D’virgilio of Genesis, Patrick Moraz of Yes and The Moody Blues, John Ford of The Strawbs, Daevid Allen of Soft Machine And Gong, John Wetton of Asia And King Crimson…

About the new project, David told us, "'Workingman's Dead' was released when I was a teenager and was one of my first exposures to country and folk music. I tried to keep my performances in the spirit of the originals as much as possible — not so much re-invention, but simply enjoying those great feelings again from so long ago."

"Jimi's wild and innovative guitar playing inspired me since I was 10 years old. I learned a lot from his playing ideas and techniques. But I created my own way, like Jimi did for his music. Because it makes no sense to copy the idol. I had much fun doing this recording for you and I hope you can hear it on every piece, even in every single note of this album. For the vocals I got additional inspirations from productions by Michael Jackson and David Bowie. So please enjoy a new look on Jimi’s everlasting beautiful music! Thank you for your open ear."
