In a 2011 interview with The New York Times Hayes, who has worked on TV-series and movie projects, explained how this project was a first for him.

"I’ve never done a live concert, or live television, or a live broadcast of any kind. I worked with Jim James on my film “I’m Not There” — he sang “Goin’ to Acapulco” with Calexico backing him up. We just hit it off, and it’s such a beautiful moment in that film."
