Listed below are some tribute/cover releases featuring covers of Elliott Smith songs. As of now, I've only included releases where every song on the release is an Elliott Smith song (but might add albums that have non-Elliott songs also but do have one cover of his eventually). I haven't kept up amazingly well with all tributes/covers, so contact me if there's any I missed.
