Charlie Daniels' posthumous 'Duets' album will feature Dolly Parton, Brad Paisley, more

A posthumous Charlie Daniels album featuring duets from some of the most familiar voices in country music debuts next month exclusively via Walmart.

Daniels' 19-song "Duets" album features the late Country Music Hall of Famer performing with Dolly Parton, Darius Rucker, Brenda Lee, Vince Gill, the Del McCoury Band, Brad Paisley and others.

The release includes Garth Brooks singing harmony on Daniels' song "Waco," Brooks & Dunn performing on Charlie Daniels Band staple "Long Haired Country Boy," Gretchen Wilson joining for a cover of cross-genre 1960s hit "Jackson" and Rucker on a take of Bob Dylan classic "Like A Rolling Stone" (Daniels career in Nashville started as a session musician for Dylan in the late 1960s).

"Duets" debuts July 16 in stores and at walmart.com via Blue Hat Records & BFD/Audium Nashville.
