With the release next month of his band's new album, 'Leave This Town,' 'American Idol' alum Chris Daughtry reveals that the new project has a "bit of country flavor," with guest vocals by a country icon."Last time we had Slash on the record, and for this one we had Vince Gill, who I think is one of the greatest country vocalists out there," Daughtry told PopEater in an exclusive interview. "He did some great harmonies and vocal bits for the song."
Daughtry explains that he is working with a mixture of country, rock and even dance beats on 'Leave This Town.'
"I just think the whole record is a body of work, and I think listening to it from beginning to end is going to take the listener through an entire experience."
Vince, who's said he rarely turns down the opportunity to guest on an album, can also be heard on Steve Martin's new banjo album, singing 'Pretty Flowers' with Dolly Parton.

Vince Gill is well-known for being the most generous singer in country music when it comes to appearing on other artists' recordings. I'm a fan since way back, and was even a fan of Pure Prairie League when I didn't know the name of the lead singer (him, in case you don't know.) If I had all the CDs he's performed on, I'd need to move to a bigger house, lol. Michael McDonald is another artist who does a lot of background singing, and they have even appeared on each others' songs. What generous spirits they are! Long live Vince and Michael--they are two wonderful talents AND people.
