CMT Crossroads: Stevie + Lady Antebellum

[HejiraNYC]

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).
