This Day in Willie Nelson History: Willie Nelson, Sheryl Crow tape CMT Crossroads

May 21, 2002

Willie Nelson and Sheryl Crow tape an installment of CMT Crossroads on the Sony Pictures lot in Los Angeles.  In addition to singing their own songs, including ‘Crazy,’ ‘Abilene’ and others, they sang the Johnny Cash and June Carter Classic, ‘Jackson.’  The show first aired June 7, 2002.

Nelson played an electric guitar throughout the night instead of his battered classical acoustic, dubbed “Trigger.” (Crow said her instruments have no names, but she might refer to them as “my little money makers.”) “My guitar,” Nelson explained, “is on the way to Amsterdam [for a European tour]. I am following soon behind.” (www.cmt.com)
