Flashback Friday: Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss

by Heather on August 1st, 2008

This week’s Flashback isn’t very old but it’s a classic all the same!

“Whiskey Lullaby,” a haunting duet by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss, is about a couple who separate and eventually both drink themselves to death because they can’t handle being apart, but they’re both to proud to admit it.

Sounds romantic, huh? It appeared on Brad’s album “Mud on the Tires” and was released as a single in 2004.

The video stars Ricky Schroder (who also directed - and sorry, he’ll always be “Ricky” to me!) as a World War II veteran who’s just come home to find his wife in bed with another man. The little girl at the end of the video who looks back is actually Ricky’s daughter Cambrie.

The video went on to win the Country Music Association Music Video Of The Year!
