Favorite Tribute Albums?


I'm a big fan of Tribute and Cover Albums. Some of my favorites include: Holly Cole's Temptation (Tom Waits covers); Poet - A Tribute To Townes Van Zandt; Till the Night Is Gone- A Tribute to Doc Pomus; Timeless - A Tribute To Hank Williams; Bob Marley A Tribute The Riddim Of A Legend and This One's for Him A Tribute to Guy Clark. I would enjoy hearing others recommendations.

+1 on: Come On Up To The House

Nativity in Black, the Black Sabbath tribute has some really phenomenal recordings. 

I'll second the Lucinda Jukebox releases. Salt of the Earth from the Stones covers is dead on, and she does a killer version of Ode to Billie Joe on the Southern Soul disc. Also not mentioned yet are covers of the Beatles, Dylan and Country Classics. Good stuff.

I'll also add Cat Power's recreation of Dylan's Royal Albert Hall Concert in '66.
