This special release holds profound significance as it features the final performance of founding member Gary Rossington, who passed the following year. Special guests on the album include Jelly Roll, Marcus King, John Osborne, Brent Smith (Shinedown), and Donnie Van Zant (Van Zant & .38 Special).

Joy Clark’s debut album, Tell It to the Wind, spotlights many of the influences the Louisiana bred singer-songwriter/guitarist absorbed while growing up as the youngest of five children in a tight-knit, deeply religious family.
