According to the liner notes, the compilation is a rainforest benefit album, with significant proceeds from its sale being donated to the Rainforest Action Network and Cultural Survival.

The Harshed Mellows, the band that performs the song "U.S. Blues", was a one-off group formed exclusively for this album, featuring Dan Baird and drummer Mauro Magellen of the Georgia Satellites, Mike Campbell, Benmont Tench, and Stan Lynch of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, producer Brendan O'Brien, and folk singer Michelle Malone. The term “Harshed Mellows” comes from the phrase “harsh my mellow”, which means to be a killjoy, delivering bad news to someone who is happy/content/high.
