Long, cool Clint Black goes digital route

Tuesday, February 19, 2008 – Clint Black's first ever digital EP with his new single "Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress)" drops March 4 at all digital sites.

"The Long Cool EP" will also feature "The Strong One" and Black's new duet with his wife Lisa Hartman Black, titled "You Still Get To Me." All of these songs will also be found on his next full-length studio release, which will be in stores May 27.

The iTunes version of the EP will feature an exclusive fourth bonus track: Harry Nilsson's hit, "Everybody's Talkin'."

Before the EP hits the digital sites, fans will be able to hear Black's latest single, a cover of the Hollies 1972 hit, on country radio.

"I've always loved this song, and cannot keep from turning my radio up all the way whenever it comes on," Black said. "There are a lot of songs from the past I would love to record, but this is such an exciting record, I decided to experiment with it first to see if I could make it a fit for me. I wanted the new music to first be about rhythm and this song has a beat that can't be... dare I say it... beat. Everyone loves this classic. And it adapted very well to fiddle and steel guitar. Who'd have thunk it?"

Black reunited with James Stroud, who co-produced some of Black's biggest hits, including five number one singles ("A Better Man," Put Yourself In My Shoes," "Killin' Time") from his debut CD "Killin' Time."

CD review - Out of Sane Clint Black may not be the commercial superstar he was in the late '80s/early '90s, but "Out of Sane" - his first studio project in five years - reveals the same high level song craftsmanship that brought him well deserved fame in the first place. These 12 songs - many written with Steve Wariner - prove Black is still quite the sharp songsmith. Whether he's performing something strongly bluegrass instrumental-ed ("With Love") or pulling out his harmonica for the ...
CD review - On Purpose Clint Black must sometimes feel like an alien fallen to earth when comparing his music -- such as the many fine new songs found on his latest "On Purpose" album - with what's in vogue on the mainstream country charts. Rather than partying till he pukes, as so many of his younger brethren are doing these days, Black oftentimes waxes philosophical. "Not everything's gonna go my way," he admits during the sometimes funny reflections found in "Better and Worse. ...
CD review - The Long Cool EP This is a four-song teaser from Clint Black, including a few covers of chestnuts. He countrifies The Hollies' "Long Cool Woman" and maintains a bouncy feel with the vocal chops to pull the classic off. He rocks a bit with a steady drum beat, but with sturdy fiddle playing, the country vibe is apparent. "You Still Get To Me" is another well sung Black duet with wife Lisa Hartman Black. Written by Black with Victoria Shaw, the soulful-oriented song is catchy, but too glossy sounding. ...
