Perhaps only The Crickets could bring together a group of artists that range the musical spectrum from hard rock to country, folk and pop. Besides Clapton, guest "Buddies" contributing to the album are Vince Neil, Bobby Vee, Rodney Crowell, Waylon Jennings (one of his final recordings), Graham Nash, John Prine, Albert Lee, Nanci Griffith, J.D. Souther, Johnny Rivers, Tonio K. & Peter Case and Phil Everly. The album was recorded in Nashville and Los Angeles by Grammy Award winning producer/engineer Greg Ladanyi (Jackson Browne, Fleetwood Mac).
