Lionel Richie's much-anticipated country CD, Tuskegee, was released today.  I was up at 4am this morning buying it from ITunes.  And, it is AWESOME!  Lionel, who has some strong country roots anyway, decided, at the age of 62, to release an album jam-packed with country-fried guest stars.  Tuskegee features 13 of Lionel's biggest pop hits reimagined and re-recorded with the help of some of the biggest superstars in country music.  Here's a mash-up of some of the tracks from the disc.  Take a look and listen . . .

Here's the complete track listing from Tuskegee!

#1-  You Are (w/ Blake Shelton)

#2-  Say You, Say Me (w/ Jason Aldean)

#3-  Stuck on You (w/ Darius Rucker) . . . which, according to Entertainment Weekly is the BEST track on the disc.

#4-  Deep River Woman (w/ Little Big Town)

#5-  My Love (w/ Kenny Chesney)

#6-  Dancing on the Ceiling (w/ Rascal Flatts) . . . one of my personal favorites!

#7- Hello (w/ Jennifer Nettles) . . . hmmm, can you say, "Flawless?"

#8-  Sail On (w/ Tim McGraw)

#9-  Endless Love (w/ Shania Twain) . . . made Moon drool this morning when we played it.

#10-  Just For You (w/ Billy Currington)

#11-  Lady (w/ Kenny Rogers)

#12-  Easy (w/ Willie Nelson)

#13-  All Night Long (w/ Jimmy Buffet and the Coral Reefer Band)

For the record, I paid $12.99 on ITunes this morning . . . but, when I surfed the web later in the day, I found it for $9.99 at Amazon.com!  Dang it!  But, honestly, it was truly worth the three extra dollars.  This CD has me "Dancing on the Ceiling!"  It will you too . . . "Easy!!"
