Years in the Making is a two-CD compilation album by Loudon Wainwright III released on September 14, 2018, by StorySound Records.[2][3] The album brings together 42 songs spanning Wainwright's career, including home and live recordings, demos, studio outtakes, and interview pieces. The set, released in a hardbound book, features 60 pages of liner notes, art, photos, and documents.[4][5]

The album is arranged roughly by topic and chronology.[2] Its tracks, most of which were previously unreleased, are divided into seven "chapters": Folk, Rocking Out and Kids on disc one and Love Hurts, Miscellany, Hollywood and The Big Picture on disc two.[4][5] Years in the Making was co-produced by Wainwright and Dick Connette, who produced High Wide & Handsome, Wainwright's 2009 tribute to legendary banjo player Charlie Poole.[5]
