Favorite Tribute Albums?

Cinnamon Girl, a recording supporting breast cancer education featured women artists covering Neil Young. My favorite track is a poignant one now–Jill Sobule, who just died, does a very cool version of "Down by the River" with John Doe of X. https://tidal.com/browse/track/6689048?u 

Bob Dylan "The 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration"

Bought the vinyl when released. A good selection of artists performing live.

Linda Ronstadt?

 

Can’t argue with that!

And of course, L.R. and Emmylou have been long-time friends and recording/performing partners.  

It's often enjoyable to hear a different approach to a song without judging whether it surpasses another performance in some way.

I like "Not Fade Away (Remembering Buddy Holly)". Notably the Los Lobos version of "Midnight Shift", which is deliciously ominous and completely different from the original.

I’m relatively new here and this topic caught my eye. I’m not really into tribute albums but last week I came across a tribute to the 1967 album that featured Frank Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim.

This 2017 release is downloadable from Pro Studio Masters in 96-24 features Jobim’s grandson (who sings and it sounds a lot like his grandfather) and John Pizzarelli. The album is called Sinatra and Jobim @ 50. The tracks sound fantastic on my system. If you love Jobim’s work this is definitely worth checking out
