The blazing guitar riffs and driving rhythms of hits like 'Legs' and 'Tush' have made them anthems in topless bars the world over. Yet on this 15-cut tribute, country artists like Lonestar, Dwight Yoakam, Willie Nelson, Hank Williams Jr., and his son, Hank III, not only manage to match the blistering, guitar-driven abandon of ZZ's original hit versions, but also imbue them with a measure of bluesy soulfulness.

Buy Now	Lonesome, On'ry And Mean: A Tribute to Waylon Jennings (more) »rank: 79682 by: Various Artists : :Though his outlaw persona defined the late Waylon Jennings in the minds of many, this tribute underscores the expansive range of both his artistry and his influence.

Guy Clark's laid-back acoustic rendition of 'Good Hearted Woman' makes the song sound like one of his own, while the sophistication of supper-club piano informs 'Wurlitzer Prize (I Don't Want to Get Over You)' as interpreted by Norah Jones. Punk-rock renegades John Doe and Henry ...

Buy Now	Till the Night is Gone: A Tribute to Doc Pomus (more) »rank: 103748 by: Various Artists : :Born Jerome Felder in Brooklyn in 1925, Doc Pomus was stricken with polio at age nine and spent most of his life on crutches or in a wheelchair.
