Hats Off is a 2001 compilation album by Roy Harper featuring 14 of Harper's own songs "...accompanied by some of rock's most legendary performers." (From rear album cover).

This compilation spans 28 years of Harper's recorded output and features a number of guest musicians, including; Jimmy Page, David Bedford, Keith Moon, Ronnie Lane, David Gilmour and Kate Bush.

The albums title perhaps refers to the tributary song "Hats Off to (Roy) Harper" by Led Zeppelin, found on their third album, Led Zeppelin III. Fans should take note that several of the songs have been edited in order to squeeze them onto the CD.
