He is putting the finishing touches on an album that features some of his biggest hits with some of country's biggest stars. Tony Brown - that's the name of a producer you hear mentioned all the time by the stars in their thank you's when they win awards - is producing, and he told CMT.com, "Lionel is the coolest, fun guy, and he's blown away by the musicians here."
We're looking for a summer date on the album.
Here's what's been recorded so far.
- Stuck on You w/ Darius Rucker
- Sail On w/ Tim McGraw
- Lady w/ Kenny Rogers (makes since 'cuz Kenny had a hit w/ this song)
- Easy w/ Willie Nelson
- Deep River Woman w/ Little Big Town
- You Are w/ Blake Shelton
- All Night Long w/ Jimmy Buffet and the Coral Reefer Band
I can't wait to hear this album - I hope he releases at least one song to country radio so I can play it for you.
