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.

If you can find either of the 2 CDs from the

"In Their Own Words" collection.

Songs, plus commentary from the performers recorded live at The Bottom Line in NYC. Sound quality gets unbelievably poor on a few tracks, but these recordings definitely provide the kind of unusual context which you describe.
