Zac Brown Band, James Taylor Join Forces for ‘Colder Weather’ at 2011 ACM Awards
The Zac Brown Band delivered an epic performance collaboration with the legendary James Taylor of the country band's current Top 5 hit, 'Colder Weather.'
Taylor, dressed appropriately for the country awards show in a beige cowboy hat, strummed along to the tune on his Olson guitar, as Brown and his bandmates wowed the crowd with their dynamic vocals and stellar musicianship.
After the tune's bridge, Taylor took the lead on vocals as he eased into his classic hit, 'Sweet Baby Jane.'
The Brown/Taylor collaboration was one of the only performances of the night which received a standing ovation from the crowd.
