The release of the album was announced by First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton at the historic Los Angeles Theater. “While preserving historic sites doesn’t take place overnight, it is exciting to see committed people working together to ensure that wonderful pieces of our heritage, such as the historic Broadway Theater District, are preserved,” said Mrs. Clinton. “Through the Save America’s Treasures program we hope to encourage all Americans to seize this opportunity to seek out the historic places in their own communities and to work together to ensure their long-term survival.”

Warner Bros. Records Inc. Vice Chairman David Altschul said, “In developing this project we wanted to create a musical tapestry of artists whose scope embodies the richness and diversity of American culture. Music is one of America’s greatest treasures, and we can think of no better way of celebrating American music than by making sure that other national treasures remain vital parts of the American experience.”
