Songs from the Gang

Songs from the Gang is a compilation album, released on April 11, 2025, as a tribute to Canadian singer-songwriter Joel Plaskett.

Released one week before Plaskett's 50th birthday on April 18, 2025, the album was in production for a year previously, but was not publicized, or even revealed to Plaskett himself, in advance. Its release was announced only when Plaskett arrived at Ditch Records in Victoria, British Columbia, to meet his manager Sheri Jones for what he had been told was a simple dinner meeting, only to instead be presented with the album and taken into a private listening session.

According to Brendan Morley of Taz Records in Plaskett's hometown of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, "Geez, they could’ve filled 50 records with artists he’s made friends with and helped their careers."
