Lionel Richie's putting a different spin on some of his biggest hits:  he's putting the finishing touches on an album of duets with various Country music stars.  Nashville super-producer Tony Brown is helming the project, and describes it as nearly finished. Among the Richie hits being covered are "Sail On" with Tim McGraw, "Easy" with Willie Nelson, "Lady" with Kenny Rogers and "All Night Long" with Jimmy Buffett.  Brown tells CMT.com, "We're having a blast. Lionel is the coolest fun guy, and he's blown away by the musicians [in Nashville]."  Look for the album this summer.
