Alison Krauss and Vince Gill on CMT

CMT’s Cross Country program has as its premise the pairing of two celebrated country artists, each performing the other’s songs with the original artist providing support. The next episode will involve two singers with bluegrass roots, Alison Krauss and Vince Gill.

They taped the show last Saturday, with both bands in tow, and it is scheduled for broadcast on CMT October 27 at 9:00 p.m.

Alison offered her take onVince’s Whenever You Come Around and Tryin’ to Get Over You, and Vince sang Alison’s The Lucky One and So Long, So Wrong.
