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.

Not a tribute album per se, but......A Tribute To Jack Johnson, by the master, Miles Davis, is a wonderful and energetic composition....it is my favorite Miles recording, and there are many favorites of his. As mentioned earlier, someone above stated Jimi Hendrix - Stone Free... A great tribute album. Many excellent mentions here. My best to all, MrD.

Since davidchampa likes " poet a tribute to Townes Van Zandt " ( my favorite of all tributes ) I thought of the Steve Earle album , there are 2 versions ! the one in my collection is the basics Steve's voice and guitar and the other is a version where other musicians were added .

My personal favorite performance from Way To Blue: I love the gospel flavored arrangement highlighted by the vocals of Krystle Warren and Jazz pianist Zoey Rahman. 

I can see how hard-core Drake fans might find it diverges too much from the original but the soulful quality is one I very much relate to:
