"This project came about almost by accident," noted Davies, which was kick-started when he recorded a version of "Till The End Of The Day" in the summer of 2009, with Chilton.  The idea of collaborating with a larger group of artists really gained momentum when Davies performed "You Really Got Me" and "All Day And All Of The Night," with Metallica in New York City at the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame Anniversary party in October 2009.  That same evening, Davies met Bruce Springsteen, and the idea of recording together excited both artists, fueling the project further.  "With some tracks I had to appreciate the style of the other artists, otherwise it would have sounded unbalanced. I wanted the album to work as an entire listening experience but each track had a life of its own," explains Ray.
