Black Gold: The Best of Soul Asylum is the second compilation album by Soul Asylum.[3][4] It contains 19 of their greatest hits.

The title of the album comes from Soul Asylum's song of the same name, which was a hit single from their 1992 breakthrough album Grave Dancers Union.[5]

The disc contains two outtakes ("Candy from a Stranger" and "Lonely for You") from Soul Asylum's previous album Candy from a Stranger, as well as two previously unreleased live recordings ("Closer to the Stars" and "Stranger").
