Brad Paisley Sending ‘Alabama’ to Radio

As the title track of his forthcoming album hovers near the top of the chart, Brad Paisley is prepping the follow-up release to his highly anticipated album 'This is Country Music,' out May 24.

The country superstar introduced 'Old Alabama' as the next single during his set at the industry-only Sony CRS cruise. Brad invited country legends Alabama to join him on stage and in the studio. The iconic band is featured on the album track, which samples the group's hit 'Mountain Music.'

'This is Country Music' will also feature the singer's first duet with his H20 II World Tour mate Blake Shelton.

"I'm very excited to finally bring Blake out on the road," Brad says. "Blake and I just cut a duet on the album. If we want, we can perform that and that will be a new experience."

Carrie Underwood is featured on the tune 'Remind Me,' which the CMA Awards co-hosts described to WUBL/Atlanta as being "about a husband and wife who are trying to rekindle their romance after years of being together."

Don Henley (of the Eagles), Sheryl Crow, Marty Stuart and Carl Jackson have all been confirmed to appear on 'This is Country Music.'
