The country music star performed "Walkaway Joe" with Eagles co-founder Don Henley during the all-star "Austin City Limits 9th Annual Hall of Fame Honors Trisha Yearwood" special set to air on PBS Saturday.

"I can't imagine being on this stage and being honored by Don Henley and not asking him if he would come up here and help me finish my portion of the show," said Yearwood in a clip of the upcoming episode released on YouTube.

As the rocker joined her on stage to perform the hit 1992 track, Yearwood praised him for being a good friend.

"I try to not ask you to do to many things because you always say yes and I appreciate you very much," said Yearwood, causing Henley to break into a big smile.

The rocker was on hand to induct Yearwood into the hall of fame that includes fellow musicians like Sheryl Crow, B. B. King and Loretta Lynn. Other musicians present at the event were Brothers Osborne, Brandy Clark, Ronnie Dunn and Jo Dee Messina.

After the special was filmed in October 2023, Yearwood shared on Instagram that "to say I had the time of my life in Austin is an understatement."

"I feel humbled to be honored on such a sacred stage. Live music can change people’s lives and what Austin City Limits has been doing for live music for the last 50 years is truly life changing, not only for the artists and the players, but most importantly for everyone watching and listening," her caption read.

Yearwood included a sweet message to Henley that read, "Don Henley, this honor will forever mean that much more because you welcomed me into the @acltv Hall of Fame. Appreciate you, my friend!"

"Walkaway Joe" featured a young Matthew McConaughey in its music video when it was initially released as a single in 1992.
