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.

How often does a cover truly equal an original performance, let alone surpass it?  Not that often, to my ears. Emmy Lou Harris is pretty consistently satisfying in this regard but I can’t think of anyone else, off-hand. 

@stuartk , Linda Ronstadt?

Cinnamon Girl, a recording supporting breast cancer education featured women artists covering Neil Young. My favorite track is a poignant one now–Jill Sobule, who just died, does a very cool version of "Down by the River" with John Doe of X. https://tidal.com/browse/track/6689048?u

Linda Ronstadt?

 

Can’t argue with that!

And of course, L.R. and Emmylou have been long-time friends and recording/performing partners.
