Highway Butterfly: The Songs of Neal Casal is a triple CD/5LP vinyl boxset celebrating the prolific body of work Casal left behind over the course of 14 studio albums

Recording sessions for the project began in February 2020 led by co-producers Dave Schools of Widespread Panic and seven time Grammy- Award winning recording engineer/ producer Jim Scott at PLYRZ Studios in Valencia, CA. Over forty artists appear on the tribute including Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks, Jonathan Wilson, Phil Lesh and The Terrapin Family Band, Steve Earle, Warren Haynes, Jaime Wyatt, and Shooter Jennings among numerous others. The first single and video from the recording was captured during the initial sessions in February 2020. It features Billy Strings with Circles Around the Sun performing "All The Luck In The World."

All proceeds from sales of Highway Butterfly: The Songs of Neal Casal will benefit the Neal Casal Music Foundation, 501c3 non- profit formed in 2020, which provides musical instruments and lessons to students in New Jersey and New York state schools where Casal was born and raised, while also donating proceeds to mental health organizations that support musicians, including MusiCares and Backline.
