Videos of the recording sessions, directed by Darren Doane, were released on YouTube in the weeks prior to each album's release. ==Production== Frontman Brent Smith and guitarist Zach Myers asked fans to request songs on their Facebook page to be narrowed down to their top ten cover choices. Smith said of the album, "This is for the fans. They picked the songs and we recorded them. It’s as simple as that. And I must say that our audience has great taste."〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Shinedown’s Brent Smith + Zach Myers Unleashing Acoustic Covers EP Read More: Shinedown's Smith + Myers Unleashing Acoustic Covers EP )〕 The ten songs voted highest by the fans were planned to be released over ten days, along with YouTube videos of the recordings, directed by Darren Doane.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=SHINEDOWN's BRENT SMITH And ZACH MYERS: Videos For OTIS REDDING, PEARL JAM Covers )〕 However, some of the artists being covered (Adele, Phil Collins, Pearl Jam, and Bon Jovi) did not sign off in time for the video release.
