Songs from the Gang is a compilation album, released on April 11, 2025, as a tribute to Canadian singer-songwriter Joel Plaskett. [1]

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. [2] 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. [3]

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." [3]
