Lauper debuts on the ACL stage in an entertaining hour of classic hit songs and the stories behind them.

Lauper recently wrapped up a headlining nationwide tour in 2016 after

which debuted No. 4 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, features
duets with several special guests, including country music royalty:
Emmylou Harris (on the title track), Willie Nelson (“Night Life,” a song
he wrote over 50 years ago), Vince Gill (Loretta Lynn and Conway
Twitty’s “You’re The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly”) and Alison Krauss (Dolly
Parton’s “Hard Candy Christmas.”) Jewel also makes an appearance on DETOUR,
showcasing her prodigious yodeling skills on “I Want To Be A Cowboy’s
Sweetheart,” which was the first country song by a woman to sell one
million copies.
