Nothing like four country music legends sitting together at one table, am I right?

Thanks to Burt Reynold’s short-lived TV show, Burt Reynolds’ Conversation With, country music fans can find footage of four icons together, in one room, singing some good old fashioned country classics. Did you know Burt Reynolds had his own TV show? No? Me neither, but that’s most likely because it technically ran from 1991 to 1992, although there were only four episodes in total. Is it even considered a TV show if you only aired 4 episodes? I’m not too sure to be honest…

Apparently, Burt Reynolds struck a deal with CBS when he signed on to be a star of the hit sitcom Evening Shade. If he did the show, he also wanted to do a talk show along with it, so the network obliged and gave him four hours worth of time, which turned into four one-hour episodes airing in primetime.

But what Burt lacked in quantity he made up for with quality. During his 4-show run, he featured guests that included Dolly Parton, Ricardo Montalban, Jimmy Stewart, Tanya Tucker, Lorrie Morgan, and this little 4-piece combo… a magical, roundtable moment with country music legends George Jones, Vince Gill, Randy Travis and Alan Jackson.

We’re talking about more than 30 Grammy wins between the 4 of them, 40 CMA Award wins, and more than 30 ACM wins between the group. And that’s wins, we’re not even talking about nominations. Just an absolute powerhouse quartet of country music royalty.

Though the show was conversation driven (with Burt Reynolds leading the way), you obviously aren’t going to get that many talented country artists all in one room without a performance at some point. That’s why this video exists of the four accomplished artists singing George Jones’ “He Stopped Loving Her Today,” as well as a portion of Hank Williams’ “I’m So Lonesome, I Could Cry” from 1949.

Ol’ Possum takes the lead for his own 1980 hit, and Randy does the honors for the Hank Williams classic.

Just beautiful. Absolutely incredible. No notes whatsoever.

Honestly, with a group like that, it’s tough to believe that this show only went on four episodes, but my hunch is that Burt might’ve just needed a little taste of a hosting gig to know that he didn’t want to do it anymore. There’s not much information about the show out there, but I’m pretty confident (about 75% confident) that it wasn’t canceled. It just didn’t continue after the agreed upon four hours of time aired on CBS.

If you have 45 minutes to kill, and you have a high tolerance for old timey TV static (makes you feel grateful that we moved past VCRs), then you can actually take in the ENTIRE episode of Burt Reynolds’ Conversations With, featuring George Jones, Vince Gill, Randy Travis, and Alan Jackson.
