Your vote for greatest (covers) album


Mine is Annie Lennox "Nostalgia". Not only is she one of the greatest female voices ever, she knows how to make a song her own.

Individual artist:
Matthew Sweet & Susanna Hoffs - "Under The Covers, Volumes 1 - 3."

Compilations:  
"Heaven & Hell, Volume 1": A Tribute To The Velvet Underground

"Starman:: UNCUT Magazine's rare and exclusive versions of 18 David Bowie songs.

"Spirit of 73";  Good overall; but, the Rosanne Cash cover of "River" is much better than the original by Joni Mitchell. I did not think it was possible for anyone to outdo Joni on one of her own songs..
"Caroline Now!" - The Songs of Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys

"Looking Into You" - A Tribute to Jackson Browne

The reverence that many of the participating artists have for the songs that they cover is palpable (YMMV). The Jackson Browne tribute was curated by overlooked and underrated singer/songwriter Jimmy LaFave (Austin, TX); and, Bob Ludwig does the mastering, so the sound quality is sterling.
