In the cases of the Nicks and Stewart episodes, the programmes will also go out on their respective nights at 8pm on Absolute's Absolute Classic Rock digital station.

Lady Antebellum and Stevie Nicks on Crossroads was "Golden" (Full Episode Available On-Line)

If you are in the U.S. and don't have CMT as part of your cable package.... You can catch the full episode of Crossroads with Stevie Nicks and Lady Antebellum at CMT.com  PLUS there are bonus video tracks of "Just A Kiss", Cold As Stone and Gold Dust Woman HERE

What a show! What a great pairing of artists!  I'm a fan of Lady A and knew from the time this was announced that this would be outstanding... So many goose bump moments hearing the four of them sing and harmonize together... Just spectacular!  Favourite moment... "Golden"  Beautiful song!  

This program is way too short.. It could easily be a 90 minute program!  With the songs performed live that didn't make the show, maybe we'll be lucky and see this released on DVD or VOD.  In the show you'll hear: Edge of Seventeen, Love Don't Live Here, Need You Now, Landslide, Golden, Stop Draggin' My Heart Around and Rhiannon.
