Before moving to Music City, he was a teenage phenomenon in his native West Virginia. Leading a country band, Paisley sang in a mature voice and played a wicked Bakersfield honky-tonk-influenced lead guitar. When he got to Nashville, he quickly nailed a publishing deal, which in turn led to a recording contract. Paisley wrote or co-wrote every song and played lead guitar on his 1999 debut <i>Who Needs Pictures</i>. In 2003, he released chart-topper <I>Mud on the Tires</I>. <I>Time Well Wasted</I> came at the end of 2005, and earned him both the CMA and ACM award for Album of the Year, as well as four Grammy nominations. A few months after Paisley's son William Huckleberry was born in 2007, his sixth album, <I>5th Gear</I>, was released. The album succeeded with a handful of hit singles and a Grammy for the instrumental track, "Throttleneck." Perhaps the award was inspiration for his next album, the largely instrumental effort, <I>Play</I>. - Linda RyanNew Countryen720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 04:11:51 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.37946&rws=%2Fbrad-paisley%2Fmusic-videos.rss Brad Paisley has a bit more going for him than your average Nashville molded hunk-in-a-hat.
