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.
Don't believe anyone has mentioned the Dylan 30th Anniversary Concert recording. Many great versions, including: I Shall Be Released - Chrissie Hynde You Ain't Goin' Nowhere - Roseanne Cash, Mary Chapin Carpenter and Shawn Colvin Times They Are A-Changin' - Tracy Chapman What Was It You Wanted - Willie Nelson |
@ immatthewjMary Lee's Covette, in 2002, recorded Blood on the Tracks: Recorded Live at Arlene Grocery which a song-by-song tribute. Great. As sort of a novelty, check out "Is It Rolling Bob?, a reggae tribute to Bob Dylan" featuring stars like Toots Hibbert, The Mighty Diamonds, Gregory Isaacs, and Sly & Robbie."
