Gretchen Wilson, rock chick? Not quite, but the country singer-songwriter is helping out rock band Buckcherry on their new song, "The Feeling Never Dies."

"The Feeling Never Dies" originally appeared on Buckcherry's 2015 album, Rock 'n' Roll, with just the band themselves performing the tune. However, for the record's deluxe edition, the rock power ballad gets a makeover, as a duet with a country edge. Press play below to hear the new version of the song, featuring Wilson.

Buckcherry guitarist Keith Nelson first brought up Wilson as a possible duet partner; he thought she'd be a good match for the band's lead singer, Josh Todd.

"There aren't too many duets anymore, and we love country music," Todd tells Rolling Stone Country. "Gretchen was the perfect fit, and we are fired up to get this track out there."

"The Feeling Never Dies," featuring Wilson, is available for purchase on iTunes.
