When it comes to dream collaborations, The Band Perry has quite an impressive list of artists they would love to work with. Kimberly says, “I think Eminem is somebody the three of us would like to collaborate with. I’m also a big Jay-Z fan.” Neil and Reid say Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones is also on their dream list. “We’re huge Rolling Stones fans,” says Neil. “Our dad had them playing when we were growing up, so Keith Richards would be pretty cool.” “So would Ringo Starr,” adds Kimberly. “I would be a big fan of that.”
The Band Perry is honored to have been able to cover another music legend, Glen Campbell’s “Gentle on My Mind,” for the EP soundtrack of the movie Glen Campbell … I’ll be Me.
