Hall, who is one-half of the best-selling duo of all time, Hall & Oates, and a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, will release the retrospective on April 1 as a two-disc set. The collection will span all five of his solo records, from Sacred Songs (1980) to Laughing Down Crying (2011).
The collection will also include never-released recordings from the popular web-television series, Live From Daryl’s House. Those performances will feature Todd Rundgren, Dave Stewart, and more artists.
“I picked this collection of songs from my solo albums because I feel they encapsulate certain periods of my career,” Hall said in a press release. “It also shows the diversity of working with collaborators like Robert Fripp or Dave Stewart. And, having some tracks from LFDH on it, really makes the compilation complete.”
Upon releasing the two-disc collection, Hall will begin a solo tour on April 1 that will also feature Rundgren. That tour will include stops at the iconic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville (see full list below).
