Morphology
The meaning 'an album honoring someone' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'tribute' (an act or gift honoring someone) with 'album' (a collection of audio tracks). This compositional pattern is straightforward and common cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Tribute album comes from the idea of a musical gift: many artists make an album of songs to show respect to one musician or band. Because the album is made to 'honor' or 'celebrate' someone, it is called a tribute and can also help a charity or remember the artist's work.
