Product Description

Sheryl Crow and Willie Nelson Crossroads dvd CMT Willie Nelson and Sheryl Crow met first in 1999 when they were part of a New York tribute concert honoring Johnny Cash. Nelson and Crow opened their CMT Crossroads taping with "Jackson," one of the songs they performed at the Cash tribute. As they did in New York, Nelson played Cash to Crow's June Carter.

Their friendship has grown since their first meeting. Crow, raised in a musical household in Missouri, reveres Nelson as the "king of phrasing" and "the voice that was the soundtrack to my childhood." Nelson regards Crow as a worthy musical colleague, an inheritor of his musical "outlaw" spirit and a fit audience for his dirty jokes.

Nelson played an electric guitar throughout the night instead of his battered classical acoustic, dubbed "Trigger." (Crow said her instruments have no names, but she might refer to them as "my little money makers.") "My guitar," Nelson explained, "is on the way to Amsterdam [for a European tour]. I am following soon behind."

The singers each took care to match the other's vocal phrasing, casting sidelong glances at each other throughout their performance. Of "Let It Be Me," Nelson proclaimed the duo "happy to be resurrecting a great song." He toyed with the familiar phrasing and seemed to challenge Crow to do the same. "It wasn't perfect, but it was tasty," she said after the first take. Quality Is 8.5/10 super
