Favorite Tribute Albums?

@charlespearcw 

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:

20 years ago I had several of the tribute CDs' that were mentioned here but at some point I realized I wasn't listening to them very much so I used them to barter with one of the few used LP/CD stores in my area.

The only one I kept was Where The Pyramid Meets The Eye (A Tribute To Roky Erickson) the former front man of the legendary 13th Floor Elevators.  Intriguing interpretations by a very diverse group of artists & musicians, to say the least.  19 songs & imho nearly every one hits the bullseye.  Highly recommended!

Sleepless Nights: The Traditional Country Soul Of Patti Loveless. This is Patti’s homage to 14 classic Country & Western songs. Nominated for a Grammy for it’s original release on CD in 2008, the album finally comes out on vinyl on July 4th.

Lou Reed to Doc Pomus "Magic and Loss"

Lou Reed and John Cale to Andy Warhol "Songs for Drella"
