Singer Alison Krauss joined country artist Jamey Johnson for a majority of his set at Farm Aid, lending her voice to tunes like Waylon Jennings’ “I Ain’t the One” and “You Ask Me To” as well as Woody Guthrie’s “This Land is Your Land,” among others.
Among the other highlights of the day, Dave Matthews and collaborator Tim Reynolds delivered a brief eight-song set, while Sturgill Simpson appeared later in the evening delivering eight tunes including a cover of Willie Nelson’s “I’d Have to be Crazy.”
Willie Nelson came out with Neil Young and Promise of the Real during their laid-back set for a take on “Are There Any More Real Cowboys?” before Young and the band plugged in for an extended “Rockin’ in the Free World” closer.
