CMT Crossroads   -  About the Episode

James Taylor and the Dixie Chicks obviously went to great lengths to tweak and even revamp arrangements for CMT Crossroads. The Dixie Chicks obviously think James Taylor is cool. In his understated way, Taylor is cool. He's a master of the stage, studio and whatever solitary place he visits when he writes his songs. A highlight of the taping came from Natalie Maines' dazzling rendition of Taylor's "Sweet Baby James," a lovely example of how pop songs and a country voice can intersect gracefully.
