In 2012 en 2013 deed Queen-gitarist Brian May tournees met de begaafde musical-zangeres Kerry Ellis. Dit ter promotie van de activiteiten van de Born Free Foundation, die zich inzet voor het vrij kunnen leven van wilde dieren. Het afsluitende concert vond plaats op Brians verjaardag, op 19 juli 2013 tijdens het Montreux Jazz Festival. De registratie daarvan is te vinden op de DVD. De CD bevat goeddeels hetzelfde repertoire, maar dan geselecteerd uit opnames uit november 2012. Vaak stonden ze met z'n tweeën op het podium: Kerry zingt, Brian begeleidt op akoestische gitaar (en zingt soms mee). In een deel van de nummers is er aanvullende keyboardbegeleiding door Jeff Leach. Het repertoire bestaat uit een mengsel van Queen-repertoire en zeer uiteenlopende covers, enerzijds "Dust In The Wind" van Kansas en "Something" van The Beatles, anderzijds repertoire van grote amusementsvocalisten Shirley Bassey, Matt Monro en Barbra Streisand. Aan de kristalheldere stembanden van La Ellis is dit alles wel toevertrouwd.
