Brad Paisley Performs 'Dead Flowers' With the Rolling Stones in Nashville [WATCH]

In the midst of the Rolling Stones' Zip Code Tour, the legendary group stopped by Nashville for a 20-song set highlighting their most country-favored sounds in a gesture to Music City. Stone's classics including "Wild Horses," "Dead Flowers" and "Faraway Eyes" were performed with a bit more twang while at one point, Mick Jagger paraded around in a cowboy hat.

Opening the night's festivities, Brad Paisley enlisted the musical assistance of Carrie Underwood for a "Remind Me" duet as well as the Eagles' Joe Walsh to perform "Life's Been Good," which eventually worked its way into "Alcohol," notes Rolling Stone. When "Dead Flowers," kicked off, the 42-year-old country star was shooed away from sharing a mic with Keith Richards and led to a microphone set up near the front of the stage. Richards took a more harmonic vocal approach, contributing a raspy snarl to "Faraway Eyes," "Wild Horses" and "Dead Flowers" before being welcomed back into the spotlight for "Happy" and "Before They Make Me Run."

The country icon who was dressed in a Stones logo tee hopped on stage for the opening act of Sticky Fingers' "Dead Flowers." This particular musician collaboration saw its debut when the "Crushin It" singer appeared in Philadelphia as a special gust during the Stones' 50 & Counting tour. Upon kicking off the show, Jagger joked, "Nice shirt, Brad." In return, the singer-songwriter helped the front man perfect his deliverance of "Hi y'all."

"See, the bucket list thing already happened. I sat in with them on their last tour ... but I only did a song as a guest," Paisley explained of the 2013 Philly concert. "So I was like, 'OK, great. That was awesome. I'll never forget that.' And then my manager calls me a couple of weeks ago and says, 'Do you want to open for the Stones?' ... it was 'Yeah!' I'm on my third bucket at this point," reports CMT News.

This Saturday, the Stones perform a gig in Pittsburgh while the same night, Paisley will play the Windy City Lake Shake in Chicago.
