Kristofferson, who actually knew a great deal of the legends examined in the documentary, was thrilled to be a part of the project. Jerry sent me a copy of the documentary while I was on tour in Australia and New Zealand, ... I settled in and watched the entire thing, and I was captivated. It brought back a lot of good memories of a lot of good friends like Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Cowboy Jack Clement, Carl Perkins and Charlie Rich. I also learned a few things along the way.

I'm happy Jerry Naylor invited me to help preserve the rich rockabilly legacy.
