Time flies - and if you need proof, just know that the Shania Twain/Billy Currington duet "Party For Two" came out almost twenty years ago - 2004. The single was Shania's last platinum single and hit the US and Canadian country Top Ten.

"Billy, let me ask you one more time. Billy, are you ready for a party?" Shania asked as the two settled into their old groove. Check out the performance below...
Sturgill Simpson, when not fulfilling his role as one of country music's most highly regarded singer/songwriters, is also an actor. He appears in the HBO series "The Righteous Gemstones" as "Brother Marshall," a militia member/singer. In this past weekend's episode, Simpson - as the leader of "Brother Marshall & The Choir of Fire," took a swing at the Larry Gatlin & The Gatlin Brothers' 1979 country classic, "All The Gold In California."
