The album was executive-produced by Lynyrd Skynyrd member Gary Rossington. Alabama's rendition of "Sweet Home Alabama" includes a rewritten verse, which omits the references to Watergate and George Wallace. Wynonna's rendition of "Free Bird" was later included on her 1996 album "Revelations", and Sammy Kershaw's "I Know a Little" was later included on his 2000 album "Covers the Hits". Confederate Railroad's version of "Simple Man" also appeared on the band's 1998 album "Keep On Rockin'". "Tuesday's Gone" by Hank Williams, Jr. was originally included on his 1988 album "Wild Streak".
