On the (possibly incorrect) assumption that this is the version that was available in The UK I've added an image (#1617711) of the advert for this that appeared in "Blues & Soul" 856 (27th Nov 2001).
If my assumption is correct, that advert has the release date as 19th November 2001 (rather than 11th November 2001 as currently entered here). If my assumption is incorrect then there was a separate UK version that was released on 19th November 2001.

The entry here for the European version of this 2001 release also contains some interviews in the tracklisting ... I see that they get a mention in the blurb on the cover-sticker so maybe they were also on the US version of this.

Aha!! Seems this was being given away "free" by HMV with the Beverlei Brown CD advertised in "Blues & Soul" 850 (4th Sep 2001) ... see Image #1615015. So I suspect I got my copy when I bought the Dennis Taylor CD that has a track on here.
The Advert also places the "release" of this sampler around August/September 2001.
