Favorite "Tribute" Albums

[rumonkey2]

Last night I started re-organizing my music collection and was surprised at all the Tribute/Cover albums I own.
So, I'll give you some quick ones:

Deadicated one of my favorites all around.

I Am Sam soundtrack another.

Return of the Grievous Angel

Johnny Cash's American recordings - I have them all!! (Unchained my favorite)

Tangled Up In Blues - This Ain't No Tribute Album ('02 Reissue)

And even some Dread Zeppelin!!!

There are many more. I'll list all I have sometime Sunday:eyebrows:

Now, my favorite cover songs - 2 of them:
Ben Harper doing Voodoo Chile - gave me my first "maxell moment" when I cranked it on my XLS. It's a constant on my Sansa & home alone...
Johnny Cash Hurt - Has to be the most perfect/fitting cover- EVER. This song seems it was meant for Johnny...:smoke1:

Most tribute albums I have don't usually work for me, they're either too faithful and don't add much, or not faithful enough and diminish a great song. I like cover songs in general, just the tribute albums never seem to meet my expectations.

The one that works the best for me is:

Where the Pyramid Meets the Eye - A Tribute to Roky Erikson



Great Album.

Herbie Hancocks "River" a tribute of Joni Mitchell's songs is very good.
