Combining two currently popular trends in compilation albums, this disc is both a tribute record and a charity project, the subject in each case being singersongwriterguitarist Rainer Ptácek, a friend of Robert Plant, who has recorded several of his songs as B-sides. The German-born Ptácek grew up in Chicago and now lives in Tucson, where he suffers from cancer. Album 2012 18 Songs. The Inner Flame. Giant Sand & Rainer. The Farm. Lucinda Williams.

His medical expenses skyrocketed, so a tribute album was planned to help out with the cost of his treatment. The Inner Flame: Rainer Ptacek Tribute came out in July . The Inner Flame - Giant Sand & Rainer. Rude World - Robert Plant & Jimmy Page. The Good Book - Emmylou Harris. This is perhaps the most amazing tribute album, but chances are that most people have no idea who Rainer Ptacek is. From hearing the songs on this album it's a damn shame. This tribute was put together by Howe Gelb of Giant Sand, along with help from Roger Plant. The songs on here are performed magnificently, and I would imagine that Rainer was quite proud of the out come. A tribute album to Ptacek, The Inner Flame, included contributions by Plant, Jimmy Page, PJ Harvey, Emmylou Harris and others, and was indicative of his reputation as a musician's musician. He was diagnosed with a brain tumor in early 1996 and died nearly two years later, after the illness recurred. Ptacek was born in East Berlin to a family of Czech and German descent. His family fled East Germany for the United States when he was five years old. They eventually settled in Chicago, where young Ptacek was first exposed to blues music. Most often on , compilation album tracks appear under the name of Various Artists erroneously because the individual artist is not listed in the album's ID3 information.
