These reworkings reflect the love for bluegrass music Yoakam developed at an early age in Kentucky that has continued to inspired him. Yoakam assembled a band of bluegrass luminaries including Grammy winner and nine-time International Bluegrass Music Association Guitar Player of the Year Bryan Sutton, Grammy winner Stuart Duncan on fiddle and banjo and 14-time Grammy winner Barry Bales on bass. The project was co-produced by Yoakam, Jon Randall and nine-time Grammy winner Gary Paczosa (Alison Krauss, Dolly Parton) and mixed by multiple Grammy winner Chris Lord-Alge.
