From CMT “Jimmy Buffett, Zac Brown Band Reach Fever Pitch“: Just ahead of Friday’s (March 19) premiere of CMT Crossroads: Jimmy Buffett and Zac Brown Band, check out their enthusiastic collaboration on “Free/Into the Mystic.” Brown often performs a medley of his “Free” and Van Morrison’s classic “Into the Mystic” in concert, but here it takes on a giant new fullness with the addition of Buffett and his Coral Reefer Band. As the easygoing song swells to truly epic proportions, the two groups reach a collaborative fever pitch just as the country/jam rock/reggae mix peaks. Since both bands are used to that mix — with one foot on the beach and one in a pine forest — this could be one of the most natural Crossroads pairings yet.

This is going down in the history books as the best Crossroads. Zac Brown Band will be in Kingsport Tn this year for Fun Fest. You can get the link at funfest.com. I can not wait until Friday and Fun Fest.

This is some of the best and genuine I have heard Jimmy in years. This style in an album could bring Jimmy a whole new breath of life taking him beyond “its 5 oclock somewhere”. Sorry jimmy we are not done with you yet!
Jimmy with Zac, Jack Johnson, Ben Folds….ect.

This is awesome. Giving us chills. We wish we were there. We think this will definitely be the best Crossroads. They make a good team.

It WILL be the best Crossroads! I’m home from work and have sat at my computer and played the video over and over and over. I could listen all night long. I have never had a song hit me like this one has. wow

WOW……..That was wonderful. I absolutely agree with Hellofahangover, it’s the best I’ve heard Jimmy in years, very real. I hope Jimmy does that in his upcoming tour, a real treat

Definitely one for the record books. Jimmy and Zac all the coral reefers and the ZB band…Absolutely amazing. Hope the rest of the show is just as awesome as Free/Into the Mystic is. I love this track from Bonnaroo, and this one just blows it away! Zac, hope you are making a guest appearance with Jimmy in ATL on 4/27…

My daughter saw Zac Brown do this medley live. She said it brought tears. Then she said after watching Jimmy and Zac do it, it made her cry! This was a classic performance and should received some kind of award. You will her more of from this duet.

I hope CMT releases this on DVD, but they usually don’t. The only Crossroads DVD CMT has released is Taylor Swift/Def Leppard, but this one should definitely be in stores. However, I won’t hold my breath.

I agree Tom. Who do we call?

I could not watch this for whatever reason on my tv, but, seeing it now, I’m amazed at the sheer magic of this band ! WOW.
