McConaughey and LBT also joined the legendary Kris Kristofferson (who performed "Why Me Lord" with the band), Jack Ingram and a crop of Nashville songwriters at the fifth annual Mack, Jack & McConaughey benefit, which has raised more than $5 million for charities that empower children.

The unlikely on-stage collaboration between the Dallas Buyers Club leading man and the country band comes after McConaughey’s performance with Kenny Chesney at another benefit show in early April.
