Via Billboard:

“The songs collected here are the sounds that have helped to inspire me and keep me going as I struggle to find the strength to deal with my new physical limitations while trying to find the energy to fight when many parts of my body and brain are telling me to stop,” Young says. “Each song you hear you’re hearing because I found a meaning in it that helped focus a number of emotions and turn them into something that I hope will ultimately be positive.”

    Still, the RIAA would prefer you buy each individual artists CD that the abo ve tracks listed are found on.
