Stevie Nicks and Lady Antebellum Team for 'Crossroads' Taping
Ten-song set includes Fleetwood Mac and solo hits

When rock icon Stevie Nicks and country trio Lady Antebellum convened at L.A.'s Sony Pictures Studios Tuesday to tape an upcoming episode of CMT's Crossroads, the most excited people in the room of a thousand or so were clearly Nicks and the Nashville trio.

In fact, it was hard to tell who was the bigger fan, with both consistently praising the other's work. It started from the very outset: after Nicks apologized for flubbing the opening lines of Lady Antebellum's "Love Don't Live Here," Charles Kelley let her know all was forgiven by shouting "Stevie ****ing Nicks!"

100 Greatest Singers: Stevie Nicks

Though no one in the audience seemed to mind starting off with five Lady Antebellum songs, Kelley commented at least three times on the format: "You're gonna have to suffer through a few Lady A songs first," he joked.

Nicks certainly did not mind. She told the audience she spent three months listening to the band's songs in preparation for this show. "These songs are amazing," she said. "These songs make you feel like you're in love."

Her biggest praise came for the new ballad "Golden," a song that Kelley explained is on their forthcoming album, which they sent to Nicks in hope of doing it on this night. She said that after a half a minute of listening to the song she was crying. She called it "their 'Landslide.'" To which Kelley responded, "Now we might cry."

When a piano was rolled out, while Kelley was tinkering around with Billy Joel's "New York State of Mind," Nicks hung over the piano. "This is every man's fantasy – Stevie Nicks draped over a piano," he said. "I would like a picture of this."

After Nicks left the stage for the upbeat "Downtown," she and her band returned for her turn. Kelley let everyone know the cultural significance of these songs by introducing "Gold Dust Woman": "If you don't know this next song, you suck."

Swept up in the night, Kelley had several humorous moments, from his attempt at the trademark Nicks twirl to recounting listening to Fleetwood Mac records in his bedroom at age 10. "Now we're hanging out. We're besties," he quipped.

Maybe they're not besties yet, though Nicks did tell the audience she had gifts backstage for Lady Antebellum's pregnant frontwoman, Hillary Scott. "Edge of Seventeen," one of her biggest solo hits, is a song she doesn't like to share with anybody because it is so personal, she said.

"I'm proud to share it with Lady Antebellum, because they're good enough to do it," she said.

Nicks took the time to recall the stories behind each of her songs, like how she wrote "Landslide" in Aspen, Colorado in 1973 and how she felt "a twinge of something, that this song is gonna be super-important in my life." She called it "the foundation of Fleetwood Mac," while Kelley called it "the greatest song ever." After a sublime rendition, Scott said, "Makes me cry every time."

Before a raucous "Stop Dragging My Heart Around," a song she originally performed with Tom Petty, Nicks told of producer Jimmy Iovine's insistence on finding a single for her debut solo album, Bella Donna. If it hadn't been for that demand, she said, she might not have had a solo career. She learned a lesson, she said, about listening to others and not letting pride get in the way. To which Kelly added, "Every person at our label has a huge smile right now." So did everyone in the venue by the time they finished "Rhiannon."

Set list:
"Love Don't Live Here
"Need You Now"
"Golden
"Cold As Stone"
"Just A Kiss
"Downtown"
"Gold Dust Woman
"Landslide"
"Edge Of Seventeen"
"Stop Dragging My Heart Around
"Rhiannon"


I sure wish they did Leather and Lace instead of Stop Dragging My Heart Around. So, how was Dreams not sung? Its her only #1 hit.

The latest CMT Crossroads pairs Lady Antebellum and Fleetwood Mac—and Lady A couldn't be more thrilled.

The taping happened Tuesday night (Jan. 29) in Los Angeles, and Lady A's Hillary Scott was pumped about a conference call beforehand with Stevie Nicks. After that call, a pregnant Hillary told reporters that she had an idea for her husband.

“I really kinda want her to be the honorary godmother of our child,” Hillary said, laughing. “She [Stevie] was just this amazing presence and person to talk to.”

For Lady A’s Charles Kelley, the taping brought his Fleetwood Mac love full circle.

Charles first discovered Fleetwood Mac at age 10, in his parents’ record collection.

“I went down and found some records of my mom’s and would play them and Rumours was one that I just was like, ‘Oh my gosh. Who in the world are these guys?’” he said.

“Just played it over and over in my room. I would play that over and over.”

There is no airdate yet for the Lady A/Fleetwood Mac Crossroads episode.

Stevie Nicks and Lady Antebellum swap songs at 'Crossroads' taping
Country trio debuts brand new song, 'Golden'

BY MELINDA NEWMAN WEDNESDAY, JAN 30, 2013 6:19 PM


Lady Antebellum frontwoman Hillary Scott takes the stage with Stevie Nicks at the CMT taping of "Crossroads."


As Lady Antebellum and Stevie Nicks prepared to run through Lady A’s Grammy-winning “Need You Now” again after flubbing the first take at a taping of “Crossroads,” Lady A’s Charles Kelley looked adoringly at Nicks and said, ‘You can do no wrong.” Nicks sassily shot back, “I can and I have.”

So it went with sweet and often amusing banter between Lady A’s Kelley and Hillary Scott and the Fleetwood Mac front woman throughout the 90-minute taping at Los Angeles’ Sony Studios.

When Lady Antebellum debuted with “Love Don’t Live Here” five years ago, critics often compared the trio to Fleetwood Mac for its pop-tinged sound and its dual lead singers in Scott and Kelley, so it seemed all the more appropriate to pair the two acts for “Crossroads,” CMT's 10-year old program that unites a country act with its musical hero from another genre.

It turns out Nicks has long been a Lady A fan. "Crossroads executive producer Bill Flanagan told the audience, “We’ve been trying to get Stevie Nicks for years. She said her favorite band is Lady Antebellum.”
“I’ve been listening to their songs for a solid three months,” Nicks said, between “Need You Now” takes. “My neighbors must be like, ‘What? We thought she was in Fleetwood Mac’.”

The new group— Fleetwood Antebellum? Lady Mac?—devoted the first half of the taping to Lady A hits, including “Love Don’t Live Here” and “We Own the Night” album track, “Cold As Stone,” with Nicks either singing Scott’s parts or along with her and Kelley. Occasionally, Dave Heywood chimed in for gorgeous four-part harmonies. The trio debuted a lovely new song, “Golden,” which Nicks was among the first to hear. “Half a minute into it, I started to cry,” Nicks said. “This song is their ‘Landslide’.” Who knows if the love ballad will reach such legendary heights, but it’s clear having Nicks praise it so was enough for Lady A.

Later in the evening, the foursome performed “Landslide,” which Kelley introduced as “the greatest song ever.” Nicks recounted writing the song in 1973 after her boyfriend/music partner Lindsey Buckingham had gone to tour with the Everly Brothers. “I knew it was going to be special,” she said.

Lady A and Nicks also wrapped their vocals around a stunning, haunting “Gold Dust Woman” and “The Edge of 17,” marking the first time that Nicks said she had ever performed the latter tune, written about Tom Petty, with anyone else. For trivia buffs, the title comes from Nicks’ misunderstanding Petty’s first wife, who told Nicks she met Petty at “the age of 17.” Her southern accent was so strong, Nicks thought she said “the edge of 17.”

Speaking of Petty, next came the Nicks/Petty duet “Stop Draggin' My Heart Around,” with Kelley ably filling in for Petty as he towered over the diminutive Nicks.

Nicks then bantered with Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, who was seated in the audience. Tyler previously taped a “Crossroads” with Carrie Underwood. As Kelley watched the exchange, he said, “Am I dreaming?”

Yep, heady stuff for the members of the trio, none of whom were born when Fleetwood Mac’s classic album, “Rumours” came out in 1977 or Nicks’ first solo album, “Bella Donna” in 1981.

CMT has yet to announce an air date for the Lady A/Stevie Nicks’ edition of “Crossroads.”

You know, I DO like country music, but on Sirius XM I keep switching back and forth between channels 57, 58 and 59 and every time I see Lady Antebellum's name pop up, I change the channel really quick. I don't like them from what I know.

But maybe I'll hear something on this show that will surprise me. I wasn't that interested in LBT before, but I did start to notice them after Lindsey's show, because I loved what they did on The Chain. I don't think I got that excited over their own music though, not until Pontoon blew me away. I was . Michele

Stevie just racks up those Godchildren doesn't she.

Well, after she has made this public what is she going to do, come back to Stevie and say, "Uh . . . my husband said he didn't want you as godmother." Awkward.

That reminds me of Rebecca Romjijn saying she didn't plan to name her daughter Dolly but she made a sort of offhand comment to Dolly Parton and then she was locked into it.

Reminds me of how Dolly is Miley Cyrus' "fairy"-godmother. Billy Ray just asked her to be her honorary godmother and be there for her, no religious thing involved. It'll probably be the same thing if Hillary asked Stevie to be her baby's honorary godmother.

* Fun Fact: My mother has the mentality of a 12 year old and Dolly's childhood home that she now owns is about a 3 minute walk from my cabin in TN. When my mom heard at the grocery store that Miley was in town staying at DP's, she walked down to her house everyday to peak over the fence because she was 'looking for Hannah Montana'

I remember Stevie dedicated Landslide to her goddaughters named Chris and Lindsey once. She pointed out the irony of her friend naming the girls "Chris" and "Lindsey," rather than Stevie.

No offense. Hahaha.You probably will gag to my tastes too.

I hate rap,hip hop,hard rock.Repetitive crap rock lyrics .today's pop music.heavy metal but I love the bands hair though LOL.

I guess I'm pretty fussy what my ears hear.


If I want to listen to country music.It will be old school classic country from the 1940's to the 1980's.

I'm glad Stevie did not team up with Rascal Crapps

or Jason Aldean.

I'm glad that Lady Antebellum stays with country roots instead of so called country music of today.

[Macfanforever]

I wish they would do L&L and ATGF and drop SDMHA .

[Macfanforever]

I'm glad that the Dixie Chicks got Landslide on the charts years ago.

I don't understand how come it never got released in 1975-1976 and get charted.

[Hawkeye]

I'm happy that her voice sounds 10 times better on these short clips then they did for the first sound city shows. And I'm loving their harmonies on the landslide chorus. Better then when Stevie harmonized with her back up singers for a few tours.

That's because Stevie wasn't the issue there.
