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.

A lost 70's Classic in the vein of covers or a compilation of songs from various artists Todd Rundgren's Faithful. On side one he does some Dylan,Hendrix,Beach Boys and other artists and then on side two he does all original stuff that is some of his best work. He just nails all the covers,in fact he took great pride in how many hours of studio time it took him to get the songs to SOUND like the originals. And if that isn't enough you can pick it up on CD new for under 10.00 shipped on Amazon.
Enjoy.

If you liked 49th Parallel then try 21st Century Blues a collection of anti war songs by various artists covered by The Cowboy Junkies. It has that same slow durge that 49th has.
