"American Epic" compilation series is a collection of releases of music associated with the film series "The American Epic", a historical documentaries are a journey back in time to the "Big Bang" of modern popular music.

The album was produced by Louis Newman. It opens with the sultry title cut, "Once Upon a Time in the West," which features her crisp and crystalline voice. It is followed by the sassy and mid-tempo "Blue Flame" and the bluesy ballad "Cadillac." "Wing and a Feather" features the gorgeous harmonies of country darling Ashley Monroe. "Love Birds" has a stirring melody to it, and it continues with the spitfire "Ain't All That Bad." Sebastian's vocals are poetic and heavenly on "Cry to Jackson," where the listener can recall veteran country star Pam Tillis. Equally impressive is the acoustic ballad "Losers and Lashes," which is pure country. Her single "Quicksand" is another gem, as Digital Journal reported.
