Carrie performing on Idol next week

Carrie is going to be on American Idol next week, as part of their Grand Ole Opry week.  She will be performing a duet with Randy Travis.  This is definitely some nice exposure for her music, hopefully it will help with her album sales and help get the single into the top 10…  The duet will also be released as a digital single which should be great.  Randy is such a hero of Carrie’s, i am sure that this will be a special night for Carrie!!!
