Looking for compilation suggestions

"A Nod to Bob" is on the Red House Record label as is the Kate Wolf tribute cd mentioned above. I've been touting the "Nod to Bob" cd for a while here. It is one of my favorite compilation cds with the bonus of HDCD. There are some wonderful artists on the Red House Record label doing what I guess is American music. Eliza Gilkinson, Greg Brown, the Wailin Jennies (spelling) and others that are definitely worth trying. The record label has some other fine compilation cds showcasing their artists; check em out.

Timrhu, Glad you liked the Kate Wolf tribute.

While I was looking for the "Nod to Bob" you and David12 recommended I found this:

Bob Dylan: This Ain't No Tribute Series
Taj Mahal, The Band, Leon Russel, Isaac Hayes, and others.

and this

"Dylan Country"

and an entire series called "This Ain't no Tribute Series"
featuring songs of Janis Joplin, Zeppelin, Clapton, Stones.

Never heard of the series before so maybe it isn't all that well done. Anyone familiar with the work?

Listened to Patti Smith's "Twelve" last night. Her version of George Harrison's "Within You Without You" is well worth the price of admission. Great bass on this cd also.

If you like the Kate Wolf - try:

Nanci Griffith - "Other Voices, Other Rooms" which is really a covers album of Nanci doing other people's material and it's great. You can sample the tracks here:

Also you may enjoy "Folkways : A Vision Shared" which has a number of contemporary artists like Dylan, Mellencamp, Springsteen, etc. doing their own interpretations of Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly songs. Little Richard's version of Rock Island Line is worth the price of admission alone.

I assume you've listened to Kate Wolf, herself. I have everyone of her albums on vinyl and love em all.
