A humble Green was moved with the outpouring of artists who wanted to participate in the project. 
"I've seen a million miles of highway go by the windshield in my bus. I've gotten to entertain millions of people throughout my life. I didn't see this coming at all. I didn't know that my friends would all get together and record my songs, but I feel nothing but gratitude towards all of them. Not just the singers and the songwriters that came out and sang, but the musicians-- the drummers, the guitar players, the violin players, the piano players, the bass players. Thank you so much to all of you guys for participating in something that means so much to me. I've been a musician forever, but I didn't see this one coming-- thank you," Green expressed.
The album is stacked with renowned artists paying homage to Green while putting their personal stamp on his music.
