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.
Scratch My Back and I'll Scratch Yours (Covers of Peter Gabriel Songs. This was part of a project where Peter Gabriel did covers of songs by the artists who did these covers. I'm not sure if these cross-covers actually ended up one-to-one.) Room 822 (Emily Barker covering Australian artists - recorded during lockdown in a hotel room with her husband) When the Levee Breaks - (Vanessa Fernandez covering Led Zeppelin) |
I listen to "The Life Aquatic Studio Sessions" a few times a year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JC06fhwkQrY

Does Walter Goggins channeling Kevin Bacon do it for you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-znj7Uf9Oo&t=8s

One of my favorite tribute albums is the soundtrack to I'm Not There. While it has Bob's title track, the other two discs are some pretty great interpretations; Willie Nelson's cover of "Señor" is absolutely sublime, as though he was born to sing the song. |
