Recording sessions were filmed in their entirely by longtime Shinedown collaborator, filmmaker Darren Doane, resulting in companion videos for each of the EP’s six tracks. Smith & Myers’ rendition of ‘London Calling’ was exclusively premiered via Billboard.com on January 21st in video format, with videos for each of the EP’s remaining cuts being premiered at that location daily up until its January 28th issue.
Kenny Wayne Shepard guested on ‘Blue On Black’, a cover version of his own tune. Four tracks were left off of the EP due to the fact that certain permissions weren’t granted by the original artists in time for its release, namely Bon Jovi’s ‘Wanted Dead Or Alive’, Adele’s ‘Someone Like You’, Pearl Jam’s ‘Black’ and Phil Collins’ ‘In The Air Tonight’. These four collectively surfaced under the title (Acoustic Sessions, Pt. 2), released on March 18th, 2014.
