Tribute album or tribute album ( English tribute , literally: tribute, collective gift ) - a music album , consisting entirely of cover versions .
Often, such an album is a collection of works by one author, artist or musical group, recorded by different musicians and, thus, dedicated to this artist. Usually such albums are a sign of respect and esteem from the side of musicians performing cover versions in relation to the creative work of the artist to whom they are dedicated. If the tribute album is released by the author himself, then, as a rule, as a sign of gratitude to the creators of covers.
