Blake and his legendary accomplice will sing 'You Are,' which appears on Lionel's recently released album, 'Tuskegee.' The performance will also be included in the TV special 'ACM Presents: Lionel Richie and Friends - In Concert,' which will air April 13 on CBS.

Steve Martin, who is touring this summer with his bluegrass band the Steep Canyon Rangers, will showcase the title instrument of Rascal Flatts' current single, 'Banjo,' during their collaboration.

It sounds like a great show. I am going to miss Sugarland and Faith though.
