Tribute Albums–
Posted by Tessa on 21 September 2010–
Tis the season of the tribute, with musical odes to Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones, all set for release over the next couple of months.
This October a number of indie-folk artists including J. Tillman (Fleet Foxes), Peter Morén (Peter Bjorn and John) and Laura Veirs will be paying tribute to Bob Dylan on the compilation Subterranean Home Sick Blues: A Tribute to Bob Dylan’s Bringing It All Back Home, which includes versions of songs from the aforementioned 1965 classic LP which was home to a number of Dylan gems including the classics ‘Subterranean Homesick Blues’, ‘Mr. Tambourine Man’ and ‘Maggie’s Farm’.
The compilation features a cover of every single song from the original album and is available on October 5th.
On October 9th, Jealous Butcher Records will release From The Land of Ice And Snow: The Songs of Led Zeppelin, a double-disc of Led Zep covers. Attempting a profound Zeppelin covers record is a behemoth task and these guys have taken on an impressive set of thirty three classics in one fell swoop.
