From Classic Rock to Progessive to hip hop to today's hot new tunes!

Where to start?

Mermaid Avenue Vol. 1 & 2--Billy Bragg & Wilco do the words of Woody with their own music.
Reason: I love all involved
-----------------------
Avalon Blues---Tribute to Mississippi John Hurt
Reason: Great songs and mega talent performers
------------------------
For the Love of Harry-Everyone Sings the Songs of Nilsson
Reason: Because the whole thing makes me smile
-------------------------
People Get Ready--A tribute to Curtis Mayfield
and
A Tribute to Curtis Mayfield
Reason: 2 separate and unrelated tributes that are both stunning in the depth of the songwriting and the performances those song wring from the artists doing them
------------------------
and perhaps my favorite tribute
A Tribute to Doc Pomus
Reason: The man had a soul about 10 miles deep. Stricken by polio and on crutches with a twisted physical body that did not work like everyone else's. A singer and songwriter who stood at the mike and delivered his magic while others danced in front of him....hence the song---Save The Last Dance For Me--Rosanne Cash's version of I Count The Tears is a masterpiece, a truly moving and tear inducing performance.
The entire album a labor of deep love and respect.
