choo-choo-charlie Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Don't know why, but this popped into my head. My older brother used to blast this in high school. Can't say the subject of this song is an "artist" per se...well, of another variety. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4l4QYOJEsE Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ih8music Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Uncle tupelo had a couple that come to mind -- "D Boone" and "Acuff Rose" (tribute to a label not an artist, obvs)And just because there's no such thing as too much 'mats talk, let's not forget about "Somethin' to Du" in tribute to the Huskers. (Sorry, don't know how to do umlauts on my phone!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LouieB Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 A label, yes -- but Acuff and Rose were people! Not a label, but a publishing house. And obviously people. LouieBBob Dylan did a beautiful tribute to Blind Willie McTell called, strangely enough, Blind Willie McTell. And also Song to Woody. And a song for George Jackson, the political figure, not the musician. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
