Gary LeVox says, "'Through The Years’ is a perfect love song, and it only felt right that this was the song we chose to pay tribute to Kenny. We’re honored to be able to keep shining Kenny’s light on the world in this small way. Music is healing and I think it’s important for us to keep embracing the power of music right now. Kenny would have wanted it that way.”

The guys posted to Instagram, "It was an absolute honor to record #ThroughTheYears. Listen to our tribute to the great @_kennyrogers now!"
