Carrie recently released the Deluxe Edition of her Denim & Rhinestones album with six new tracks – five new songs including "Drunk And Hungover." Underwood's current song on country radio, "Out Of That Truck," plus a special live version of "She Don't Know," recorded live during Carrie's recent tour.
Underwood told us of the new deluxe album, "I like to think of the extra songs that we added for Denim & Rhinestones, for the Deluxe Edition is just an extension of Denim & Rhinestones as a whole. I definitely wanted all the songs to fit with the rest of the body of work, but it's just more. It's more denim. It's more rhinestones. I feel like the vibe was so cool, and I just enjoyed this era so much that I just wanted to keep it going."
She added of the album, "I love the song 'Denim & Rhinestones,' first and foremost, but I thought there was just something so cool about the title of it that is very me, that I wanted to name my album Denim & Rhinestones. When you think of denim and rhinestones, you think of the staples in your closet, the things that are reliable, the things that are comfortable, that you always feel good in them."
