CMT Crossroads

Celebrities search for a new career path as Country-Western crooners with the help of Big & Rich's John Rich.

There are living legends among us whose talents are so great, they are awe inspiring. Their gifts have touched their fans, challenged their peers and garnered awards and international recognition. But it is an elite few who are considered giants in country music. CMT Giants honors those true icons who outshine all others.

A recreation from one of the world's greatest jam sessions. On December 4th, 1956 Carl Perkins' career was flying high from his hit "Blue Suede Shoes." New to the scene, Jerry Lee Lewis is brought in to work on a new song with Perkins. Then, lo and behold, superstar Elvis Presley and country music legend Johnny Cash stop by the studio for a visit. The songs they sang on that epic day became the concept for Million Dollar Quartet. A fun, inventive retelling of their impromptu recording session.

Country singer-songwriters participate in a series of competition rounds where they are judged on their performances, songwriting, interviews, and music videos.
