Brad Paisley says back in 2005 when he filmed the video for “When I Get Where I’m Going” with Dolly Parton, her husband Carl Dean waited in the car the whole time. “Carl was just so happy to be in the shadows. She was in here a while. We walked around and talked in the house and had a great day. And she went out to get in the car, and I see him waving. He didn’t even come in! “He was just so happy to drive her around. And she got in the car, and she drove away.” Also, in case you missed it, Brad performed “When I Get Where I’m Going” with Sierra Hull on the “CMA Presents I Will Always Love You: A Celebration of Dolly Parton” special Wednesday night.
