Martina McBride found herself framed by rock royalty this week. After taping an upcoming edition of Austin City Limits showcasing music from Don Henley’s forthcoming album, Cass County, McBride took part in a SiriusXM event with Henley, moderated by Bob Seger. McBride is Henley’s featured duet partner on “That Old Flame,” the first single from the Cass County project. She performed the song with him at both the Austin City Limits and SiriusXM tapings.
McBride’s friendship with Seger dates back to 1998, when they teamed up for “Chances Are,” a duet from the soundtrack of the Sandra Bullock movie, Hope Floats. McBride is signed to Nash Icon Records and is in the early stages of working on new music. Henley’s Cass County will be released on Sept. 25.
