This page contains a brief overview on the album ATHENS, GA SALUTES DAVID BOWIE: Loving the Alien. Learn more about the artist and explore the track lists and website. If you find any information that needs to be corrected, please let us know.

 
This album is a fine overview of Bowie's oeuvre, eschewing obvious tunes for more obscure and illuminating selections (e.g. Ryan McWhorter covers 'Abdulmajid').

The album also works as a testament to the diversity of Athens' music scene, containing everything from Ceiling Fan's straight-forward rocking take on 'Hang Onto Yourself' to Mime's jungle transformation of 'John, I'm Only Dancing.'

A labor of love...And the effort shows: most tribute albums sound half-assed and warmed over. Loving the Alien doesn't, which is a triumph in and of itself.
