Star-studded lineup
Strait's special featured a handful of all-star guests, including Chris Stapleton, Lyle Lovett, Robert Earl Keen and Miranda Lambert. The group teamed up with Strait to end the night with a performance of Strait's "Texas," an appropriate choice for the evening. All the performers, save Stapleton, hail from the Lonestar State.
George Strait & Miranda Lambert are singing "If It Wasn't for Texas" on the hurricane relief special and my heart is bursting ?????
