Could well be the wonderful Aly Bain TV (tele) series "Transatlantic
Sessions." It was two series of, say, 12 shows each of highly skilled
artists from different backgrounds and traditions. They just jammed in a
basically informal, non-studio setting - a Scottish castle, it was said.
Catching, eg, Emmylou Harris backing Dick Gaughan was great - interactive
and dynamic. That's the way this stuff _should_ be. Personal and live,
not passive listening from an audience.
Harris did great work and was on many of the shows.
I don't know just when they were made and as far as I know, in the US they
are only shown on the Ovation cable TV network. We get it on channel 125.
They are still occasionally repeated in the UK - don't know about Canada.

Some years ago the BBC broadcast a folk program entitled "The
Transatlantic Sessions", starring Mary Black, Emmylou Harris,
Iris DeMent and others. There were not, as far as I know, any
legitimate video or CD recordings of these produced. Our Town was
performed during one of these.
Later, they repeated the exercise with a second series which only
had a terrestrial airing in Scotland.
There are CDs available of these latter programmes, Transatlantic
Sessions 2, Vol 1 & 2. Iona records, IRCD063 & 064.
