2/20/2008 Stephen L. Betts Clint Black's first-ever digital EP, Long Cool Woman, which will include his new single “Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress),” is set for release on March 4 at all digital sites. In addition to the single, the EP will also feature “The Strong One” and Clint's new duet with wife Lisa Hartman Black, “You Still Get to Me.” All of these songs will also be found on Clint full-length studio release, due in stores May 27.  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 Clint'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 Clint 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,” says Clint. “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?” The new recordings reunited Clint with James Stroud, who co-produced some of his biggest hits, including the No. 1 singles “A Better Man,” “Put Yourself In My Shoes,” and “Killin’ Time,” from his debut CD Killin' Time.
