Favorite Tribute Albums?


I'm a big fan of Tribute and Cover Albums. Some of my favorites include: Holly Cole's Temptation (Tom Waits covers); Poet - A Tribute To Townes Van Zandt; Till the Night Is Gone- A Tribute to Doc Pomus; Timeless - A Tribute To Hank Williams; Bob Marley A Tribute The Riddim Of A Legend and This One's for Him A Tribute to Guy Clark. I would enjoy hearing others recommendations.

I bought Standing In The Doorway---Christie Hynde Sings Bob Dylan a coupla days ago, but haven't listened to it yet. I didn't particularly like Joan Osborne's Songs Of Bob Dylan album, but I do like Joan Baez's Any Day Now, a 2-LP set of Dylan songs released way back in 1968.

I haven't been paying attention to what has come out over the last few years and I've missed out a lot of it.  I was unaware of that one and I always liked her, so I may have to check it out.

What's That I Hear? A tribute album to the songs of Phil Ochs a great writer of the 60s and 70s and a tragic figure after he lost his voice in an attack in Africa. The Crucifixion, a favorite all time of mine, is a masterful tribute to John Kennedy, with too few covers.

John Hammond Jr - Wicked Grin (Tom Waits covers)


Looking Into You: A Tribute To Jackson Browne - Lucinda pops up once again with a stellar version of The Pretender

 

Best tribute album title - If I Were a Carpenter
