"We've been back and forth for a while about doing one thing Crossroads" said Gilbert CMT Hot 20 Countdown between racks during the recent recording near Nashville. "I will not bring any particular band, but I feel like a lot of times if I'm having trouble making a decision, there's a reason for that.
"When my manager said 'Lynyrd Skynyrd' when it found that it was, like, ding! Arrived in a conversation where I was like, 'Look, man you really need to do this and we want you to have fun with it and want it is something you believe in. Who is someone you would? '"
When Gilbert took Lynyrd Skynyrd as their first choice, he said the band had already participated in a concert with Montgomery Gentry crossroads in 2010.
"I was like, 'look, if they do it again, I will,'" Gilbert said. "'Come On!'"
When members of Lynyrd Skynyrd were approached about working with the "One hell of a Amen" singer, they realized the couple could not be more perfect.
"They mention it, and we were like, 'Oh, that's the guy who has the rock band!'" Joked vocalist Johnny Van Zant Gilbert. "I had heard 'Bottoms Up,' too, and I had listened to their records, so they were like, 'OK. Let's do it.’... So we are now doing with you, man, and is a great honor.
