About

It's refreshing to hear Brad Paisley keeping things fun and playful while recording the kinds of traditionally rooted country songs that helped make <i>Mud On The Tires</i> go double platinum. The opening title track sets the tone with a breezy serenade written for either his girl or his truck, and Paisley's charm and lighthearted wit boosted this one to the top of the Billboard Hot Country charts. The sidesplitting "Celebrity" hit at #3 with a Bakersfield based twang and lyrics that make light of spoiled stars in a way similar to what Joe Walsh did with his 1978 smash "Life's Been Good." If you're looking for a cute love song, check out "Little Moments" that Paisley wrote for his wife Kimberly Williams. He also covers Bill Anderson and John Randall's "Whiskey Lullaby" (with a little help from Allison Krauss on the vocals) — a melancholy love song with powerfully moving lyrics that unravels an intense narrative about a heartbroken man who loved whiskey to death. "Spaghetti Western Swing" lightens things up with Redd Volkaert's Telecaster picking prowess and bits by Little Jimmy Dickens, George Jones and Bill Anderson.
