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.

20 years ago I had several of the tribute CDs' that were mentioned here but at some point I realized I wasn't listening to them very much so I used them to barter with one of the few used LP/CD stores in my area.

The only one I kept was Where The Pyramid Meets The Eye (A Tribute To Roky Erickson) the former front man of the legendary 13th Floor Elevators.  Intriguing interpretations by a very diverse group of artists & musicians, to say the least.  19 songs & imho nearly every one hits the bullseye.  Highly recommended!
