• Track Listing

When it comes to an exalted songwriter like Wilson, new (and newly discovered) songs are a source of great excitement. This anthology boasts a newly penned song, "Run James Run," plus "Some Sweet Day," an unreleased one he wrote with Andy Paley in the early ’90s for an unfinished project. The rest of these beauties span 30 years of his solo recording career: the "Live at the Roxy Theatre" tracks "The First Time" and "This Isn’t Love" plus "Love and Mercy" (from his solo debut), "Soul Searchin’" (built around a track left behind by his late brother Carl), the "Smile" songs "Heroes and Villains" and "Surf’s Up," the 21st-century gems "Midnight’s Another Day," "The Like in I Love," "Colors of the Wind" and more.
