    A tribute album starring the man of honor himself, who also curated the whole affair, See My Friends is a bit of a curious creature.

    See My Friends sees him plunder his back catalogue, with generally pleasurable results.

    These all-star gatherings are more fun for the artists than the listener.

    It feels like a personal journey through the past on his part, and a genuine tribute from those who've contributed.
