These are "Special"
Nanci Griffith "More Than a Wisper"
Eva Cassidy "The Best of Eva Cassidy"...not exactly a tribute album, but is essential.
John Prine "Broken Hearts & Dirty Windows"
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.
