Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy said:

Holy shit! That’s all I’ve ever wanted my whole life—somebody else to sing my songs in a way that allows me to hear them as something new. So beautiful. Made me cry quite a bit.

Glaspy on The Golden Heart Protector:

I made this record out in LA almost by accident. My dear friend Ryan Lerman and I hung out for a weekend in Los Angeles at his studio and I just kept playing songs and wonderful people kept showing up to sing and play them with me. He was the dream producer for a project like this because he just let it all happen. James Bay just happened to be in town from London on the day we were tracking, Madison Cunningham had a day off, Alam Khan is a childhood friend of my husband’s and happened to be in LA; It really was the most organic and wonderful thing. I’m such a lover of a good song and to have the opportunity to sing and celebrate all these well written tunes with all of my dear friends is really enchanting. All of the songwriters that we cover are either friends or heroes of mine and it feels special to pay homage to the legends of our time.
