Looking for compilation suggestions

As of late I find myself listening to compilation albums and soundtracks more and more. Right now I'm listening to "These Times We're Living In, A Red House Anthology" which is very good. Other favorites are kd lang's "Songs from the 49th Parallel," the soundtrack from "Dead Man Walking" and the newly released "Instant Karma - The campaign To Save Darfur." Albums such as these provide me an opportunity to hear new artists or well known artists performing music somewhat out of their element.
Any recommendations appreciated and I'll probably pick up a few of them.

"treasures left behind: remembering Kate Wolf"

Includes covers of Kate Wolf songs by Kathy Mattea, Dave Alvin, Nanci Griffith, John Gorka, Peter Rowan (with Rowan Brothers and others), Lucinda Williams, Chris Williamson (with Tret Fure), U.Utah Philips, Rosalie Sorrels, Greg Brown (with Ferron), Nina Gerber, Eric Bogle, Terry Garthwaite, and Emmylou Harris.

Lots of fine work there but my favorites are, heck--too many.

Timrhu, Glad you liked the Kate Wolf tribute.

While I was looking for the "Nod to Bob" you and David12 recommended I found this:

Bob Dylan: This Ain't No Tribute Series
Taj Mahal, The Band, Leon Russel, Isaac Hayes, and others.

and this

"Dylan Country"

and an entire series called "This Ain't no Tribute Series"
featuring songs of Janis Joplin, Zeppelin, Clapton, Stones.

Never heard of the series before so maybe it isn't all that well done. Anyone familiar with the work?
