Brad Paisley performed a new tune at the 49th annual Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday from a special Las Vegas pool party outside of the MGM Grand.

The country crooner sported boots, a white cowboy hat, jeans and a black t-shirt as he sang his recently released single, River Bank, and jammed on his red electric guitar. The audience danced along while in the surrounding pool.

After he finished his performance, Paisley grabbed an audience member's smart phone and took a selfie.

"Playing a new song for the first time on TV is always a balance between total excitement and trying to remember it. Wish me luck," he tweeted before the show.

River Bank will appear on Paisley's upcoming, untitled album. His tenth album will follow Wheelhouse, which he released last April and featured some edgier music and the controversial song, Accidental Racist with LL Cool J. Despite the backlash the song received, Paisley felt it sent a positive message.

"He's one of my good friends these days," Paisley said about the rapper when he visited Good Morning America to promote the album that year. "We've just gotten to know each other really well, and I have so much respect for him as a human being and we really tackle a delicate subject and I think we do it really well."

As for the album as a whole Paisley said: "We decided not to respect boundaries. We thought, anything that sort of helps tell the story and I guess be entertaining, we felt like it was time to incorporate it, whatever it may be. We really had fun."
