As far as the 60th GRAMMY Awards go, the compass is pointing east this year with the milestone telecast taking place at the venerable Madison Square Garden in New York on Sunday, Jan. 28.

But it goes without saying, when it comes to the hundreds of music creators who can call themselves 60th GRAMMY nominees, all signs point to disparate locations on the map.

There is, among others, Lorde, who is from Auckland, New Zealand; Ed Sheeran from England; Chronixx from Kingston, Jamaica; Antonio Sánchez from Mexico City; Juanes from Colombia; Petra Müllejans from Düsseldorf, Germany; and Dmitri Hvorostovsky from Krasnoyarsk, Russia.

And then there's the United States, with nominees hailing from Southern California all the way to Bedford, N.H.

For a different slice of the 60th GRAMMY nominees, we broke up a select group of 60 nominees according to their U.S. birthplace by region: West, Midwest, South, and Northeast. In each region you'll find 15 nominees, offering you a taste of the directional sense of how these nominees got from point A — home — to point B — Music's Biggest Night.

Demi Lovato, Ed Sheeran Lead Lineup For Pair Of Elton John Tribute Albums

Lady Gaga, P!nk, Logic, Alessia Cara, John Legend, Willie Nelson and more come together to reimagine the illustrious catalog of Elton John and Bernie Taupin

With "Elton John: I'm Still Standing—A GRAMMY Salute" just a few weeks away, the Piano Man is getting a lot of love these days. Now, the track listings for two new albums of covers, Revamp and Restoration, reveal a stacked lineup of artists tackling the biggest hits penned by Elton John and his longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin.

Elton John To Be Honored At GRAMMY Salute Concert

Revamp offers a diverse roster of artists across various genres, from the likes of GRAMMY winners Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, Mary J. Blige, Sam Smith, P!nk, Alessia Cara and nominees like Queens Of The Stone Age, Florence + The Machine, and Demi Lovato, who collaborated with the great Q-Tip and on "Don't Go Breaking My Heart."

“On Revamp, I wrote out a wish list of people that I would love and asked them, and to my surprise, most of them said yes," John said in a statement. "And we have quite an astonishing eclectic crew.”

Restoration takes a more cross-generational, country flavored slant, with everyone from Willie Nelson to Kasey Musgraves, Dolly Parton to Miranda Lambert, Vince Gill to Dierks Bentley playing their favorite Elton tunes.

“Restoration was Bernie's project, and he’s a huge country fan,” John said, referring to his longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin. Together, the pair have displayed an impressive and varied artillery of influences in their music over the years.  

"From day one we borrowed from everything that's good about American music – whether it's blues, country, gospel, pop, pure rock – everything got thrown in the mix," Taupin said. "… It would be tiring if you just got stuck in one niche your entire career, especially when it's one as long as ours."

In all, the sprawling 26-song track list is a testament to the timeless catalog it celebrates. Take a look for yourself and mark your April calendars — Revamp and Restoration drop April 6 and "Elton John: I'm Still Standing—A GRAMMY Salute" airs April 10 at 7 p.m. PDT on CBS.
