If ever there was a musician who readily gave so much of himself in the spirit of creating and in turn is due a celebratory tribute to the music he gave to the world, it's Neal Casal.
Highway Butterfly: The Songs Of Neal Casal is a 5LP vinyl box set celebrating the prolific body of work Casal left behind over the course of 14 studio albums. Recording sessions for the project began in February 2020 led by co-producers Dave Schools of Widespread Panic and seven time Grammy-Award winning recording engineer/producer Jim Scott at PLYRZ Studios in Valencia, CA.
Over 40 artists appear on the tribute to the life and music of the gifted singer, songwriter, musician and friend to many, including Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks, Jonathan Wilson, Phil Lesh and The Terrapin Family Band, Steve Earle, Warren Haynes, Jaime Wyatt, and Shooter Jennings among numerous others. The first single and video from the recording was captured during the initial sessions in February 2020. It features Billy Strings with Circles Around The Sun performing "All The Luck In The World."
"It's been overwhelming to record these talented artists as they put their own spin on Neal's songs. It speaks volumes to the high quality of his songwriting and to the depth of love and appreciation that his peers had for him." - Dave
