The idea for Breed came from a casual compliment Collins received from another iconic female singer.

“It started because Chrissie Hynde said to me, ‘You know, one of my top 10 favorite songs is ‘My Father.’ And I thought, ‘Why don’t I get her to record that?'” Collins told Pollstar.

Singers contributing to the project, which is due this summer, include Joan Baez, Rufus Wainwright, Dolly Parton, Hynde, Dar Williams, Jimmy Webb, Shawn Colvin, Leonard Cohen, Arlo Guthrie, Amy Speace, The Webb Sisters and Puressence‘s James Mudriczki .

Collins admitted when she got a good look at the people who signed on to pay tribute to her, she was more than a little flattered.

“The list of performers – I’m just kind of blown away by it.”
