All songwriters seem to get a tribute album after a few years - I can imagine some of them are useless given that there are so many and most of them filled with "up and coming" artists who get put on them by record companies as opposed to being fans. I only have a few that I actually listen to - being a massive Bruce Springsteen fan I've quite a few of his tributes - the Uncut ones, "One Step Up/Two Steps Back" (with Jackson Cage by John Wesley Harding outstripping Bruce's version by miles) , "Badlands tribute to Nebraska" (Dar William's Highway patrol Man and Downbound Train by Raul Malo) and "Light of Day" (Patty Griffin Stolen Car and Jesse Malin's Hungry Heart). I've also got "Return Of The Grievous Angel - Tribute To Gram Parsons" (Lucinda Willams version excellent) and "Por Vida - Tribute to songs Of Alejandro Escovedo" which is slightly bizarre as he sings on it himself and "Kindred Spirits - tribute to Johnny Cash" which has Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen. I tend to only listen to the songs on these albums which are interpreted uniquely by the artist. Have a stack of magazine ones that I never touch. Any other recommended tribute albums or should they all be given a wide berth???
