May 23, 2011 Brad Paisley brought back the sounds of Alabama with his new song "Old Alabama." In the video, he brings the back the band themselves. See old concert footage with Brad digitally mixed in. And see them today, jamming out with Brad.
Brad debuted the video Saturday on the Speed Channel during "NASCAR Raceday." He was there for the premiere during the pre-race coverage of the NASCAR All-Star race. Jeff Gordon, Darrell Waltrip and Rick Hendrick can also been seen in the video. Brad says if it wasn't for Rick Hendrick providing the driver's facilities to shoot the video, he probably wouldn't have been able to afford the shoot.
