Miley Cyrus brought out a very special guest for her performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last night (Oct. 5) It was none other than her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus.

The daughter-dad pair teamed up for a cover of Tom Petty’s “Wildflowers.” The fiddle and family harmonies gave the folk-rock tune more of a country feel. Dressed in a light pink feminine strapless dress, Miley sang with passion and sensitivity, leaving a lump in the throats of Petty’s fans, who lost the legendary rocker October 2 after he suffered a heart attack.

Watch the performance below.
