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

Mary 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." 

 

Deadicated with various artists doing Dead covers.

Gary plays Jimi.  Gary Moore playing Jimi Hendrix live.

I like the Two Rooms Elton John tribute album also. The Who doing Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting), Clapton doing Border Song and Bruce Hornsby doing Madman Across The Water are some of my favorite tracks.
