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.

I listen to "The Life Aquatic Studio Sessions" a few times a year.

Does Walter Goggins channeling Kevin Bacon do it for you?

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.

Eva Cassidy "The Best of Eva Cassidy"...not exactly a tribute album, but is essential.
