During Sunday night’s CMT Music Awards, Darius Rucker joined forces with The Black Crowes for a performance of the rock band’s 1991 hit “She Talks To Angels.” The two iconic acts were previewing an upcoming collaboration for CMT Crossroads, which is set to air later this Spring.
The pair have a great chemistry together, and Darius says they even inspired him to write one of Hootie & The Blowfish’s biggest hits. “Their song, ‘She Talks To Angels,’ inspired me to write ‘Let Her Cry,’ so we’re gonna do a duet of those two and I’m just looking forward to it. I mean, I’ve known these guys a long time and I think they’re an amazing, an amazing band. I’ve seen ’em so many times. Chris changed the way I play music, and so getting to perform with them is pretty awesome.”
