Elliott Smith - Heaven Adores You (2016)

Introducing the eponymous soundtrack to the documentary about celebrated singer-songwriter Elliott Smith. Among the gems: “Untitled Guitar Finger Picking,” written and performed by a 14-year-old Smith, a glimpse of the technical style that permeated Smith’s earlier solo albums. “Don’t Call Me Billy” is a potent precursor to Smith’s Either/Or-era “Fear City.” And “Unknown Song,” one of three instrumentals here, pays homage to Smith’s frequent crash-pad/studio, the house belonging to Quasi’s Janet Weiss and Sam Coomes. And of course, included is Smith’s first TV appearance, a performance of “Miss Misery” on Late Night With Conan O’Brien.
