Music helps to set a festive mood during the holidays. The right music can flood the mind with loved ones, bittersweet memories, and longing, all in a few minutes. The following country singers did just that during a holiday performance.

Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash are two country music legends. The late Cash and Nelson both accompanied their singing with guitar playing. They also each had a signature style.

Before this Christmas season performance begins, Johnny had something important to say. The Man in Black quipped, "...my time has come, Willie," after listing several artists who had already shared a stage with Willie. This list included the likes of Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings, and Julio Iglesias.

The singer's background at this event was simple yet effective. Soft lighting created an intimate ambiance. A lone Christmas tree provides understated festiveness to keep the focus on the performers.

I Still Miss Someone was the pair's chosen song for this performance. This ballad depicts a man who still pines for an old flame. Whether he's at home or a party, the singer is always haunted by memories of her.

After the pair sang this story, it was time for the guitar to take a turn. Willie skillfully bent notes and shaped phrases to make his guitar weep. It was so beautiful that Johnny broke into a massive smile as Willie played the final notes of his solo.
