I've been putting together this compilation of artists paying homage to other artists - both dead and alive - for some time now and I can't remember the inspiration for doing so. I'm pretty sure it was something specific, but the memory isn't what it used to be. Anyway, I should also point out that there are a couple of songs which reference more than one artist (The Bluegrass Widow and Nightshift) and the last song is definitely a cheat - it's an homage to Berry Gordy, the founder of Motown. Also, the Aimee Mann song is a tribute to Jeff Buckley - the rest of the tributes are pretty obvious.
