I use Crimson, which imitates Minion in a lot of ways, so I'm not sure if it's what you're looking for.

It's a little light, so I made it heavier and condensed it, then called the weight "Crimson Lyrics." I don't know anything about font licensing, but it looks like I would just need to change the name before I could legally make it available to you if you were interested.

Here's an old blog post with a picture of the modifications, although I have tweaked it more since then. (I think I initially overdid it.)

Nice work! OFL requirements say that you can't use the SAME name for your font since it is a derivative. Calling it "Crimson Lyrics" should be just fine, assuming this is the base family name and not a weight name.
