NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Grand Ole Opry and MySpace are uniting to live stream an Opry performance with video for the first time this Saturday.

Opry performances between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. EST will be shown, including appearances by Carrie Underwood, Martina McBride, Rodney Atkins, Jake Owen and others.

Underwood will perform music from her just-released CD "Play On," including the fastest-rising single of her career to date, "Cowboy Casanova."
