TRIBUTE SONGS TO DEAD MUSICIANS 

VA - Tribute Songs to Dead Musicians (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2+CD3

The death of a musical pioneer reverberates across the music world when you hear of their passing. They shape our thoughts and lives; they move our hearts, and they give us gifts that stay with us until we ourselves pass. I for one am eternally grateful for their legacy. Their contributions are carved into my heart.

Musicians are emotional people who live in a fraternity of gifted people. When one of their own dies they are understandably heartbroken by their loss and by knowing the legacy left behind. When another artist writes a song about these lost comrades, they generally produce something special.

Here are 75 tracks written by artists who have lost their bandmate/friend/inspiration and often someone they grew with. Certainly, they impacted them significantly enough to write a tribute to them. Their legacy is etched into the minds of others and the stories that are shared about them.

Enjoy these beautiful songs.
