Country music superstars Lyle Lovett and Darius Rucker guest star on the latest episode of 'Big Sky'!

Country music fans rejoice! Country superstars Lyle Lovett and Darius Rucker will guest star opposite fellow country superstar Reba McEntire, who play Sunny Barnes this season, on this week's episode of Big Sky

In this week's episode, "Come Get Me," two separate investigations start to intersect. When shocking new evidence surfaces from the “Bleeding Heart Murder Case,” Jenny (Katheryn Winnick) and Beau (Jensen Ackles) team up with Cassie (Kylie Bunbury) and achieve a major breakthrough. Meanwhile, Buck (Rex Linn) struggles with his moral ambiguity, and cracks begin to form in his and Sunny’s (McEntire) marriage.

Lyle Lovett joins the show as Tex, an expert tracker. Tex's laid back gentlemanly cowboy ways mask a threatening demeanor underneath. His musical prowess only makes him more threatening.

Best known as the lead singer of the rock band Hootie and the Blowfish before pursuing a solo country music career, Darius Rucker takes on the role of Possum, a gun for hire who has joined Tex on a job. Possum prefers to do his work after the sun sets, hence his nickname.

While fans will hear Lovett sing a note or two, it's unclear if Rucker will join him. We've heard McEntire sing a snippet or two this season, but nothing in a formal setting.

Reba McEntire joined the season 3 cast of Big Sky as Sunny Barnes, the main antagonist for the season. Sunny is the matriarch and owner of a glamping outfit. While she appears sweet and amicable on the outside, she'll do anything for her family - including hiding some deep dark secrets.

Big Sky airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. on ABC.
