The details on the new Brad Paisley album, Wheelhouse, are out now. The track listing was released and Dierks Bentley, Roger Miller, Hunter Hayes, Charlie Daniels, Eric Idle, Nashville songwriter Mat Kearney and rapper LL Cool J are featured on the album.  The name of the song Brad does with LL Cool J is called “Accidental Racist”.  I truly hope it’s funny, not serious.

Natalie Maines said what? In a recent interview with CMT, she joked that going back to a country music career would be “like going back to your abusive husband.” She’s got a new album coming out that is going to have a rock edge.
