Who's the biggest tribute album whore?
Posted by NigelSmith on 19 June 2009 - 4:16pm.
My vote is for Elvis Costello. I think he's on tributes to Gram Parsons, The Grateful Dead, Joni Mitchell, June Carter Cash, Van Morrison, Paul Simon - even George Gerswhin. I suspect he's been on others that you know.
Does any other artist love paring tribute this much?

Possibly
but Lod Lobos, Cowboy Junkies and Lucinda Williams may just have the edge on him. Not at home to do a check of the not inconsiderable examples I have. 3 of the 4 appear on some you mention, even. Is there a full house of all 4 artists out there?
It's That Man Again
On a similar theme, is it an unwritten rule that Bono has to make an appearance in every flippin' music documentary? Ray Davies, Leonard Cohen, Johnny Cash, just to name 3 off the top of my head, have all been touched by his humble words of admiration......

Try Roy Orbison,The Clash The Dublineres, Frank Sinatra to name another 4 off the top of my head.
