Background

edit

The album comprises new acoustic recordings of songs previously recorded by Buffett. The album was recorded based on an online video series recorded by Buffett, where he would perform lesser-known songs from his catalogue, as chosen by online fan vote.[2] The video series was filmed and directed by Buffett's daughter Delaney, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] The title of the album is a play on (and contrast to) Buffett's 1985 greatest hits album, Songs You Know by Heart.
