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

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

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.

Macfanforever · #9 01-16-2013, 05:01 PM

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.

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!

Phil · #12 01-16-2013, 08:45 PM

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.

Macfanforever · #13 01-16-2013, 11:29 PM

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.

michelej1 · #14 01-17-2013, 12:06 AM

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.

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.
