Equity To Release Clint Black's First Ever Digital EP, Titled 'The Long Cool EP'

NASHVILLE, TN. (Top40 Charts/ Equity Music Group) - Equity Music Group will soon release country star Clint Black's first ever digital EP, which will include his new single "Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress)." The EP, titled The Long Cool EP, will be available March 4th on all digital sites.

In addition to the single, the EP will also feature "The Strong One" and Black's new duet with his wife Lisa Hartman Black, titled "You Still Get To Me." All of these songs will also be found on his next full-length studio release, which will be in stores May 27, 2008. The iTunes version of the EP will feature an exclusive fourth bonus track: Harry Nilsson's hit, "Everybody's Talkin'."

Before the EP hits the digital sites, fans will be able to hear Black's latest single, a cover of the Hollies 1972 hit, on country radio. Though to some it may seem an unusual selection to cover, to Black it makes perfect sense.

"I've always loved this song, and cannot keep from turning my radio up all the way whenever it comes on," Black said. "There are a lot of songs from the past I would love to record, but this is such an exciting record, I decided to experiment with it first to see if I could make it a fit for me. I wanted the new music to first be about rhythm and this song has a beat that can't be... dare I say it... beat. Everyone loves this classic. And it adapted very well to fiddle and steel guitar. Who'd have thunk it?"
For these new recordings, the artist reunited with James Stroud, who co-produced some of Black's biggest hits, including five No 1 singles ("A Better Man," Put Yourself In My Shoes," "Killin' Time," etc.) from his debut CD Killin' Time.
