Jon Randall on the Writing of "Whiskey Lullaby"

“Whiskey Lullaby,” the Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss duet featured on Paisley’s third studio album, “Mud on the Tires,” became a certified hit, peaking at #3 on the “Billboard” Hot 100 and winning the 2005 Country Music Association Song of the Year Award.
Penned by Country Music Hall of Fame member Bill Anderson and singer-songwriter Jon Randall, the musical lament addresses themes of alcoholism and suicide. Randall discusses Anderson's integral role in the song’s conception and its effect on mainstream country radio. Watch below to see Randall, joined by Carly Pearce, perform "Whiskey Lullaby" as a tribute to his friend and collaborator at the opening of the exhibit "Bill Anderson: As Far As I Can See."
