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.

. . . and I would really like to hear the Lucinda Williams cover of Born In The USA. . . .

I remember when the Cowboy Junkies sarted performing a cover of Thunder Road (I think that would have been in '01) and I almost that I like the CJ cover better than the original.  Although the original is great.

If we're now including covers of individual songs, I really love Dylan's Senor, but Garcia's versions with the JGB knock it out of the park. Jerry was born to sing that song.

I vaguely remember the Street Legal 8-track, @ezwind .  I think I remember reading that it wasn't a great commercial success, but I rather liked it.

One of Dylan’s best rhymes:
 

Señor, señor, can you tell me where we're headin'
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon
Seems like I been down this way before
Is there any truth in that, señor
