. . . Steve Earle also did a tribute to Guy Clark which he titled Guy, and I honestly was not familiar with Guy Clark's work, but I did like Earle's tribute CD.
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.

Can't Steal My Fire: The Songs Of David Olney. I didn't know anything about David Olney until EmmyLou covered Deeper Well on Wrecking Ball back in '95. On the tribute Lucinda covers Deeper Well. Steve Earle covers Sister Angelina and there is a 1977 live recording of Townes van Zandt covering Illegal Cargo. |
Like the OP, I think the Doc Pomus album is a must have. I also am fond of- The Q People: A Tribute to NRBQ Album-NRBQ may be the best bar band you never heard of. Bonnie Raitt, Steve Earle, Los Lobos, Yo La Tango, and others cover the better known and not so well known NRBQ favorites. A Tribute to Miles- (Taken from Wikipedia) is a tribute album recorded by the then surviving members of the Miles Davis "Second Great" Quintet: pianist Herbie Hancock, saxophonist Wayne Shorter, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Tony Williams. Taking the Davis role was trumpeter Wallace Roney. Concert for George- Live tribute soundtrack with the remaining members of the Beatles, Eric Clapton, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Jeff Lynne, Ravi Shankar, Billy Preston, and others.
