Brad Paisley’s New Album, “Love and War,” Features Collaborations With Mick Jagger, John Fogerty, Timbaland, Whisperin’ Bill & Johnny Cash

Brad Paisley likes to collaborate . . . and it shows.

Over the course of his 18-year career, the West Virginia native has released singles featuring Alison Krauss (“Whiskey Lullaby”), Dolly Parton (“When I Get Where I’m Going”), Keith Urban (“Start a Band”), Carrie Underwood (“Remind Me”), Alabama (“Old Alabama”) and Demi Lovato (“Without a Fight”).

Chances are, one of his upcoming singles will also feature an A-list artist.

Yesterday (March 9), Brad announced the track list for his upcoming album, Love and War, and the 16-song offering is brimming with collaborative efforts, including the Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger, former CCR frontman John Fogerty, R&B star Timbaland and Country Music Hall of Famer Whisperin’ Bill Anderson.

In addition, the late Johnny Cash is credited with a co-write on “Gold All Over the Ground.”

Brad’s current single, “Today,” is currently No. 4 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart, while his previous single with Demi Lovato, “Without a Fight,” didn’t make the album’s final cut.
