LADY ANTEBELLUM FIND IT ‘EASY’ TO WORK WITH STEVIE NICKS ON ‘CMT CROSSROADS.’ (AUDIO)

Lady Antebellum teamed up with Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Stevie Nicks for a new episode of CMT’s Crossroads. Meeting and collaborating for the first time, the two acts traded vocals on several of their hits and a couple of covers when they taped the show in January in L.A. in January, and it’s scheduled to air September 13th at 10pm ET on CMT. Stevie has reportedly said she spent three months learning the group’s songs and was really fond of the title cut of their latest album, Golden.

Hillary Scott says meeting the legendary rocker was like they’d known her forever. “We were literally sitting in rehearsal and…the band was getting set up and everything, and she came in and just plopped down on the  couch with us and we all just started talking,” recalls Hillary. “I mean it was just so easy.”

Lady A (Stevie Nicks-Hillary) OC: …as well. :42
“It was like we’d known her for years. Like we were literally sitting in rehearsal and we’re you know we’re all getting, the band was getting set up and everything and she came in and just plopped down on the  couch with us and we all just started talking. I mean it was just so easy. And she’s such a hard worker and you know she put in so much time and did her research and did  her homework for our songs and that was so humbling you know because she’s Stevie Nicks, she could have rolled in there and  been like and just done whatever she wanted to do. And it was just it was really easy. She was so fun to be around and to learn from and to hear her stories and to have her stamp of approval on our art, I think was a huge boost of confidence as well.”
