Great pairing!
 

This is awesome news! First Lindsey with Little Big Town, now Stevie with Lady A! I hope they do After the Glitter Fades or That's Alright, songs that show Stevie's country roots.

Holy sheet. Lady A is my favorite country groups I love them.Wow a dream came true.I hope this opens avenues for Stevie in Nashville .

It was great when Lindsey was with Little Big Town on Crossroads.They are a great band too.

I can't wait.

Its about time.

Barf-O-Rama.

Not a country fan. But of course I'll watch it.

Not a big country fan, but I do like Lady Antebellum :nod: I think this works much better than Lindsey collaborating/performing with country artists. And yes! That's Alright or After the Glitter Fades would be perfect :angel:

I've always jokingly called Lady Antebellum "Fleetwood Mac For Dummies" because of their layered male/female harmonies and their 'behind the beat' sound. Their style apes Fleetwood Mac very much in my eyes... sans the extremely dumbed down lyrics. Regardless, I think this is a perfect pairing for Crossroads and it should prove to be quite enjoyable. :)

No worries - that ain't real country. ;)

I swear I'm psychic. I was drunk last night, watching youtube, listening to Lady Antebellum's Need You Now and it occured to me that Stevie would love them.

Wow LOL all the anti country fans are coming out. I get killed on here over commenting about hating today's music and rap crap.:shocked:

OK I'm ok.LOL......



I rather have Stevie with Lady a then with Rascal Crapps.No typo.

I cant stand the whining voice of the lead singer.

Today's country is not like moms or dads or old school country music like Conway Twitty Loretta Lynn,George Jones and Tammy Wynnette .

I prefer the old school myself to listen too.


Lady A seems to carry on a little bet of the traditional sound with their tunes.

I wonder what tunes will be picked for the show.It would be great to hear Stevie do After the Glitter Fades , For What its Worth,Thats Alright plus her other country tunes.

Of course Stevie probably try out some Lady A tunes.


I'm surprise that they did not team up Taylor with Stevie for a Crossroads show.
Taylor's is swinging more into a pop star now.

I still blame the producers for not giving them more time to rehearse for the event.

OMG... why, Stevie? Why??! This is a collaboration that only some kind of manager or agent could have concocted. It's so cynical. I guess since Stevie helped to pave the lane for male and female singers in a rock band, LA would be, like, the 21st version of this meme? Uh... no. It's as if LA took the superficial elements of the FM sound and lobotomized away all of the drama, intensity and soul, and added a pinch of twangy guitars to appeal to country radio. Yuck. I would much rather see Stevie do a collaboration with Carly Rae Jepsen. Indeed, it would be an utter sh**show, but at least it would have come from a real place of genuine admiration (on Stevie's part).

Couldn't agree more. In addition, unless I'm completely out of the loop, aren't Lady A way beyond their 15 minutes!?! This is a total Stevie sell-out!:distress:

I'm in total agreement with HejiraNYC and Christopher - Lady Antebellum are appalling! Jesus Stevie, what has become of you? I lose respect for her on a daily basis... The sad part is that she probably truly believes "Need You Now" is on a par with Fleetwood Mac in their prime. So delusional.
Mind you, Little Big Town are no better than LA - both are slick, by-numbers, generic whores for hire.

Hahaha.BTW whos Carly Rae Jepsen.The name dont ring a bell.

I would love to see Stevie do a duet with Vince Gill or with The Sweethearts of the Rodeo or even with the Judds.

So, they will do a song of Stevie's or FM's. I wonder what they will choose. That will be more interesting, perhaps, than Stevie on their songs.

Michele

I cant wait to see it. I guess I have to get extended cable to see it on CMT.It will be worth it.
I remember when I got Showtime just to watch Stevie's Red Rocks show plus FM's Tango Show I dump it after the show were over.

At least those 2 groups actually have people who can sing - unlike a lot of other current groups / artists in the genre.

She has a hit single titled Call Me Maybe that Stevie has spoken about that she enjoys singing on her treadmill. It's a pretty pop song that even you would like.

Stevie said "this is the year of Fleetwood Mac" and so she's doing 2 shows with Dave Grohl, 1 solo show in Palm Springs and performing with Lady A in Nashville. She'll prob have Sharon fill in for her at the FM rehearsals.

Stevie's also performing at a corporate gig for Remax sometime soon. Who knows what other corporate gigs she's got lined up between Feb and early March before her Indio Show :shrug: :rolleyes: She could have spent January or Feb releasing the In Your Dreams doc and doing some publicity for it.:cool:

I thought she couldn't get distribution for it?

Is Remax the realty company.Stevie would have no problem selling me a new house.

Oh. Wow,I got to check her out.

Agreed. I can think of a hell of a lot worse options for Stevie to pair up with for Crossroads. I'm just glad she didn't get paired with a morally reprehensible redneck like Toby Keith. :eek:

I don't think anybody here really knows. Last we heard from Dave via twitter was that it was in Stevie's mgmts hands and out of his. It was just wishful thinking on my part that she could've spent Jan through Feb releasing her doc and doing a little publicity for it. More wishful thinking is that she'll rub elbows & slip a copy of her doc to distributers while in Sundance and spark an inevitable release.:shrug:

Ha. Funny to imagine. I'm not sure that Rod Stewart insulted Stevie, but some of us got that vibe. Well, if she began not wanting to work with Rod, I couldn't even imagine how disastrous things would be with Keith.

I like much of Keith's music though -- not the "patriotic" stuff, but the rest. That is what upset me about the Chicks. They were wrongfully censored, but if they had their way, people they don't like (Reba and Toby) would be censored. I realized they were victims who would victimize others if given a chance.

Michele

Yes, and you KNOW they'll sing Landslide. Gag.

Oh no. I hope not. Since the Dixie Chicks have already done it, I hope they choose something else. Please.

Michele

Yes. More likely.Its one of FM will known tunes .What kills me how come Landslide was not release and a number 1 tune on the charts when the self titled album was released.I must of been sick that day while I was in Fleetwood Mac 101 class for the reasoning how come the tune did not get released and charted.

I'm glad the Chicks got the tune on the charts.

I like Toby's tunes also his voice.

I hope Stevie puts her sales uniform on and peddles IYD DVD at the Sundance.Rub some shoulders with some key people there.

"After The Glitter Fades".

Good point. Towards that end, she could sing with them on one of her IYD songs. That would be surprising.

Michele

I always say without Stevie, there would be no Fleetwood Mac. She has constantly promoted the band. Got their stuff on Glee and done the talk show circuit.

Now She is doing the David Grohl thing and Crossroads and god only knows what else she will pop up in to get word of mouth of Fleetwood Mac's tour out there.

Here is my fear. Remember the Taylor Swift debacle. Taylor and Stevie were both terrible, but I think Stevie had a great excuse. She came off a big tour. Her voice was flat and she was tired. I hope she doesn't sound like that with Lady Antebellum. She has to sound great. I'm sure that is why she wasn't picked by other artist for Crossroads.

Not to mention the fact, that the Dixie Chicks controversy shot up just when Landslide hit #7 on the billboard charts and then it sank like a stone. Guilty by association. She seems a little cursed when it comes to the country scene.

Country music fans respect older artists and they are loyal and spend money. She needs get more of those fans.

I hope they do That's Alright and After the Glitter Fades. I would be happy.

And you know it would almost certainly be Cheaper than Free:distress:

Agreed..but is is more likely they will perform Leather and Lace IMO since there is a male singer in the band.Landslide is a given of course.

It's morbid thoughts like that that made Heathcliff cut off his ear.

Michele

I...would celebrate that decision. It would be far preferable to hearing yet another Landslide publicity stunt.

For her song from IYD I would nominate Moonlight.

Now, for an FM song, I would prefer Straight Back, but I know they will do one of her hits. So, I would like Gypsy.

For their song, I think she would be good on Love Don't Live Here, but I guess they will actually be showcasing their new album, so that's not going to happen.

Michele

Maybe Steve Real will tag along or Charles Kelley
Dave Haywood have a crack at it.


I agree on the country fans with the older country artists.I love tuning in the Grand ole Opry every Tuesday Friday and Saturday to hear a 3 to four hour show with my favorites like Loretta Lynn ,Connie Smith ,Little Jimmy Dickins any other classic artists plus hear some of the new artists like Lady A perform on the show.

I agree on the song picks.Plus I can add FWIW from IYD Cheaper then Free.

Stevie does more promoting then any other artist I know.

Maybe she could crack a deal with Walmart like some other artists have done.I can see Stevie with the Walmart blue overalls pitching IYD DVD for $15.00.


I do have a feeling this upcoming CMT Crossroad will be a hit and the show will get released on DVD.I will keep me fingers crossed.I hope CMT will promote the crap out of it like their other shows.

When I get a official air date I will have to get my extended cable hooked back up.

I love Moonlight.That would be great.I would love to hear Gypsy countrified.

For Lady A tunes I would love to hear Stevie sing any of them.

I think we'll get it on DVD regardless. Lindsey's is on dvd.

Michele

huh? i thought it was a bad bootleg release?

we've been lobbying CMT to release LB/LBT show on DVD.

actually, are there any official CMT crossroads DVD releases?
