Adkins,
however, gives the credit to Colbie, “This song is about undying love
and two people who feel exactly the same way about each other. It needed
a voice that was feminine and strong. Colbie’s voice is pure, sultry
and soulful all at the same time and I am honored that she could join me
on this powerful song by Brett Edlredge.”

Love Will… is available now (http://smarturl.it/ituneslw) and tackles
the world’s greatest emotion. Guests include Colbie Caillat, the
esteemed Harlem Gospel Choir and rock/country veterans, Exile. About the album, the Associated Press wrote “… the
tall, muscular former oil rigger concentrates on romantic themes, some
of which push at the steamier edges of conservative country music
conventions – as on his cover of the Exile pop hit “Kiss You All Over.””
Country Weekly applauds, “Love Will . . . isn’t
a collection of schmoopy, saccharine ballads. The songs are solid and
lyrically diverse, exploring love—from the unrequited kind of “So What
If I Do” to the eternal in “Watch the World End” to the downright
heartbreaking in “If the Sun Comes Up.””
