The Who bassist John Entwistle (The Ox) and drummer Cozy Powell, who both died in the years following its recording (Powell 1998, Entwistle 2002), were the session players for those sessions, and are given top billing on this release.
"I'm sure everyone will know," Tipton stated, "this album is a tribute to their unique styles and skills and a small part of the immense legacy they have left behind which will continue to inspire people all over the world for many years to come."
This album was released March 7, 2006 and all proceeds from sales go to the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Greg Prato of AllMusic called the album, "more melodic than the average Judas Priest release, and one that focuses mostly on Tipton's riffs and Powell's thunderous drumming rather than Entwistle's bass dexterity.
Additionally, Tipton's vocals certainly won't be mistaken for Rob Halford's anytime soon, but they're certainly not cringe-worthy, either.
