Taste of Country got an exclusive interview with Brad Paisley this week, in which, among other things, the country superstar talks about how Carrie Underwood has become his go-to duet partner.

I'm sure there's that one song when you hear it, makes you want to have a beer. For me it's 'Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound' by Hank Williams Jr.
