Nashville, Tenn. (June 6, 2012) – In an unprecedented pairing of two country music superstars, Hank Williams, Jr. and Brad Paisley wowed a national television audience performing their duet, “I’m Gonna Get Drunk and Play Hank Williams” on tonight’s CMT Awards. Hank and Brad performed to a crowd of approximately 30,000 on the streets of downtown Nashville.

“I’m Gonna Get Drunk and Play Hank Williams” is featured on Hank’s new album, “Old School, New Rules” available everywhere on July 10.

“Tonight was a special night! Having Brad perform with me and especially on my new album is something special,” Williams said. “It’s a good ‘ole honky-tonk song that Brad-cephus and Bocephus had a lot of fun playing tonight!”

“I count as one of my greatest blessings in this career being able to get to know Hank,” Paisley said. “When I heard the song, I said, ‘This is perfect’. It’s such a great tribute to his dad. The idea that two of us from this generation are getting together to forget a woman with the music of his father is too much fun! It’s a highlight for me!”
