It Takes Two

Tragic Kingdom’s featured artist of the month, Jason Aldean, is set to take the stage tonight at the Country Music Awards live from Nashville, performing his new single “Don’t You Wanna Stay”. When Aldean was recording his new (hit) album, My Kinda Party, he knew that he wanted to record his new single as a duet with a powerhouse diva, but it was his top two choices that really stood out – proving this country boy is my kind of people. “Carrie Underwood was one of them, and [the other was] Kelly Clarkson,” Aldean said. “I’m a fan of both of their voices… but they’re both really different. Kelly [has a] really raspy, soul-type thing, while Carrie’s got stupid pipes too, but hers are a little cleaner. [With Kelly] not really being in the country genre, I thought it was a little more of a long shot, which ended up not being the case.”

Check out the video of the two southern-born singers in the studio laying down vocals for “Don’t You Wanna Stay”.  And don’t forget to tune-in tonight to catch Jason and Kelly do it live on the Country Music Awards stage.  The party kicks off at 8pm on ABC with your hosts Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley.
