Lionel Richie goes country
By Ann Oldenburg, USA TODAY

Lionel Richie will release Tuskegee, a new album of country duets, in March.

"I was born and raised in Tuskegee, Alabama. I am a country boy and proud of it. To do this project just felt natural," says Richie in his announcement. "What began as a collaboration of talented people ended up being a great group of friends getting together to make great music."

But first, he has just announced that he''ll debut songs on The 45th Annual CMA Awards, airing live Nov. 9 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, with Little Big Town, Darius Rucker and Rascal Flatts.

Richie is no stranger to the CMA Awards stage. But it has been awhile. In 1984, Richie performed Lady with Kenny Rogers and in 1986, he performed Deep River Woman with Alabama.

And this year's CMA Awards will feature several duets, including Kenny Chesney and Grace Potter singing You and Tequila, Rascal Flatts and Natasha Bedingfield singing their current hit duet Easy, and co-hosts Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood in their first live televised performance of their No. 1 song Remind Me.

On Tuskegee, Richie performs 13 duets - with stars including Tim McGraw, Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles, Blake Shelton, Shania Twain, Kenny Rogers, Willie Nelson and Jimmy Buffett.

Now, normally I'd scoff at such a venture, but he had a lot of "country" hits and collaborations in his '80s heyday.

I wish he didn't have to go the duet route with this to be "relevant". He would have done fine on his own!

Explain to me how there is an album cover and a song list all ready to go and the CD doesn't drop within minutes of his appearance on the CMAs. Talk about lost opportunity. If he is hoping to reignite his name with a country to pop crossover it's never going to happen in March.

At last, an official release date, per Lionel himself and as reported on many outlets: March 27, 2012.
