The Soul of Many Places compiles the best moments from Matthews' recording high point for Elektra (1972-1974). Featuring selections from Valley Hi, Some Days You Eat the Bear..., and Plainsong's The Search for Amelia Earhart, this is the best introduction to Matthews' finest work.

What a great collection of tunes. I have all of the IM albums covered by this, but for anyone wanting a "best of" this will do nicely. Me thinks it should have had "Side Roads" from the plainsong record though; I just love that tune.
