Marshall even employed musicians from one of the song's original recording sessions in search of sonic authenticity. Teenie Hodges, the guitarist for Memphis' Hi Records Rhythm Section, which served as the backing band on George Jackson's "Aretha, Sing One for Me" in 1972, joined Marshall in the studio for her take on the soul gem.

"She stuck to the basic melody of the song that I recorded, but I noticed that she added a Bonnie Raitt–style guitar lick on her version. On my version, I mostly used the piano for the melody and the solos, but she uses the guitar on hers, which I thought was really interesting. I'm thrilled that she decided to cover it. I've always liked that song, but I think it's great that she liked it enough to do it herself."
