Fans might be scratching their heads a bit, now that the track list for Brad Paisley's upcoming Wheelhouse album has been revealed. The squeaky-clean country star has included eye-opening song titles such as "Accidental Racist" and "Those Crazy Christians" on his eighth studio album, along with "Death of a Married Man" and "Death of a Single Man."

"Accidental Racist" addresses the detrimental stamp that slavery put on our nation's history. Brad's buddy, LL Cool J collaborates on the track, adding lyrics about racial harmony. "Brad's not afraid to express himself," the legendary rapper tells Parade magazine in a feature article on Wheelhouse. "What other country artist, or any artist right now, talks about slavery?"
