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.

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 

Return of the Grevious Angel - Gram Parsons tribute
 

‘neath your covers. - Cowboy Junkies

 

Famous Blue Raincoat - Jennifer Warnes

Legacy - A tribute to Fleetwood Mac's Rumors . (all songs are from Rumors, various artists).

Not all of the tracks are my taste, but many are outstanding...
