This will be just the second live “CMT Crossroads.” The show pairs country music stars with acts from other genres. The mashup often yields interesting results.

Two of music’s most successful women will be on display during the broadcast. Chrissie Hynde formed The Pretenders more than 30 years ago and the group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005.
