«[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'm happy Jerry Naylor invited me to help preserve the rich rockabilly legacy.»
