The upcoming album promises a convergence of musical titans, celebrating Gary's legacy and influence.

Gary, a pivotal figure in the civil rights and antiwar movements, remains a testament to the power of music as a force for change. "This album and film will underscore that message songs are still vital today. They tell the compelling stories that need to be heard in our time," Gary stated.
The music industry is abuzz with anticipation as Gary Green re-enters the spotlight, not just as a musician but as a beacon of historical and cultural significance.
