Willie had this to say, "I'm humbled and deeply grateful to all the artists involved in this project for taking the time to record such beautiful versions of these songs.
"When I first heard there was going to be a tribute album I was a little embarrassed as I don't feel I'm any more deserving than anyone else for an album like this but after a few glasses of red wine and hearing the album I was elated.
"It was startling to hear such unique, different and poignant interpretations of my songs. Heartfelt thanks to all involved for making this songwriter's journey through the back roads of a soul more than worth the effort."
Listen to Nils Lofgren take on "All God's Children" here.
