Chris Young's upcoming album will feature a couple of collaborations.
He'll duet with Cassadee Pope-- something that has been in the works since they performed on
the same show a while back. Chris says, “I was just like, ‘I’ve got to ask her,’ because I love her voice,
and she’s a phenomenal singer.” He also has a collaboration with Vince Gill, which was set up by their shared manager.
The end result was a song that has turned into one of his favorites.
The as-yet-untitled album is due out this fall.
New details onBrad Paisley’s “Crushin’ It” music video are out! Brad says he thought the original treatment
was too elaborate to pull off. So, he holed up for an average of three to four hours a day for almost a
month and got to doodling, turning country stars into his Agents of Crush. The video is completely
animated and it is all Brad’s doing!
The official cost for the whole shebang was $906.
