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.

It's often enjoyable to hear a different approach to a song without judging whether it surpasses another performance in some way.

I like "Not Fade Away (Remembering Buddy Holly)". Notably the Los Lobos version of "Midnight Shift", which is deliciously ominous and completely different from the original.

@stuartk If you like that game, try these:

I Say A Little Prayer: Dionne Warwick, Aretha Franklin

Fire: Robert Gordon, The Pointer Sisters

Teardrops Will Fall: Dicky Doo and the Don'ts, Wilson Pickett, Ry Cooder
