Clint Black

The music business is a high-stakes, high-risk venture, and it's not unusual for things to wind up in court.

His new song honors one of country music's greatest institutions.

"I thought, 'This is a moment in time for me to release live music.' The fact that it's 30 years later and I can still play these songs and do 'em justice..."

The iconic country star shares the long backstory that led up to his new single, which features Sara Evans, Michael Ray + more.

The couple met on New Year's Eve in 1990 when he was playing in their hometown of Houston, Texas.

They'll be added to the Music City Walk of Fame this month.

The latest round of country music artists to be honored with stars on Nashville's Music City Walk of Fame includes contemporary stars Lady Antebellum, Black and Mac McAnally, as well as legends Chet Atkins and DeFord Bailey.

On Sept. 24, 1989, Black earned his first gold record, for his freshman album, 'Killin' Time'.

"This is a song that takes on a whole lot more meaning as we get older ..."

Plus, Black remembers the time he and Adkins put out nearly identically named songs at the same time.
