Country superstar Kenny Chesney won't release his new album Hemingway's Whiskey until September 28th, but Rolling Stone has your exclusive listen to one of the album's standout tracks "You and Tequila," a duet with Grace Potter. "I was looking for someone to do the song with me ‹ I listened to all kinds of music and there was this girl whose voice I just fell in love with," Chesney says of the pairing. "I didn't really know anything about her, I just knew I loved her singing and I loved her records, and her name was Grace Potter."

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals were named to Rolling Stone's Best New Bands of 2010. "I love singing beautiful songs, that's all I care about ‹ this is the first time that on the very first listen I immediately picked up the phone and said 'Make this happen,'" Potter says. Check out the track and the story behind "You and Tequila" above.

“Is It True”

Brenda Lee | 1964

As the British Invasion reached its peak in 1964, Brenda Lee went from Nashville to London to record one of her hardest-rocking hits, her perky vocal backed by a stuttering, squalling guitar. That guitar was played by session musician Jimmy Page, yet to skyrocket to fame with first the Yardbirds and then Led Zeppelin. "She said to me, 'I've come here to make a record with the British sound,'" remembered producer Mickie Most. "She felt she wouldn't get the same sound in Nashville because they're only just catching up on the British beat group sound of about six months ago."
