Legends: it's a personal gift from the people you've listened
to all your life.
Some of modern music's greatest songwriters

as well as new material – notably a new collaboration
with Wilson ("What Love Can Do"), who also recreates
the Beach Boys gem "God Only Knows." King delivers
a moving rendition of a new song "Say Goodbye Today"
and teams with Suzan Agbor on a new soulful version of her
timeless gem "Home Again." Kristofferson performs
a poignant and reflective version of his classic, "Sunday
Morning Coming Down", as well as the beautiful new ballad,
"The Wonder." Williams, who duets with Willie Nelson
on the heartwarming favorite "The Rainbow Connection,"
penned the album's title track "New Music from an Old
Friend" sung by vocal virtuoso Jane Monheit. Stephen
Bishop teams up with Eric Clapton and Brazilian guitar icon
Oscar Castro-Neves on an exciting samba version of his hit
"Save It for a Rainy Day." Kenny Loggins returns
to his singer songwriter roots with a fresh interpretation
of "A Love Song" as well as the brand new I'll Remember
Your Name." Notes producer Ramone, "There's a freshness
in all of these artists that's undeniable. It's been a magical
