Black Gold: The Best of Soul Asylum is a compilation album that contains 19 of the greatest hits from Soul Asylum.
The title of the album, "Black Gold" comes from Soul Asylum's song of the same name, which was a hit single on their 1992 breakthrough album Grave Dancers Union.
The disc contains two outtakes ("Candy from a Stranger" and "Lonely for You") from Soul Asylum's previous album Candy from a Stranger, as well as two previously unreleased live recordings ("Closer to the Stars" and "Stranger").
All songs written by Dave Pirner, unless otherwise noted.
The Japanese release also contained one previously unreleased bonus track, "When I Ran Off and Left Her" (Chesnutt), for a total of 20 songs.
