Topic: New Brad Paisley Album

Brad came out with an album at the beginning of the month which I'm currently feeding to my ears, and they're lovin' in! I haven't gotten a GOOD listen to it, but give me a couple hours here! It's called Play: The Guitar Album and it's pretty awesome I'm not gonna lie...it's all instrumental except for 5 songs, and it's no where near strictly a country album. Good stuff. Check it out, report back by tomorrow.

The title song is pretty funny, if I'm not mistaken it starts with Brad trying to play Randy Rhoads' Dee, and failing, it's a good laugh.

Re: New Brad Paisley Album

i like paisley though i dont really listen to him much.  like the man really i should say just not into the music.  seems to be bringing some semblance of soul back into mainstream country, and that can't be bad because it has been so stripped it has become pop with a southern accent at this point.

Re: New Brad Paisley Album

Paisley is a country/rock/blues/fusion guitar genius.  I read an interview about this album. It sounds like its going to be amazing.  I consider him to be the country John Mayer.  Behind is country-pop, mainstream, polished, marketable tunes lies a sophisticated guitar virtuoso.

It is an amazing album, there's some killer stuff on there that guitarists will just die trying to figure out.

Re: New Brad Paisley Album

I saw BP on Letterman a few weeks ago playing Let The Good Times Roll in a pretty much straight up blues style. He takes his guitar playing very serious like Vince Gill and Steve Wariner to name a couple others.

His acceptance speech at the the AMAs was very classy I thought...no ego that I could see...I've heard he's a killer guitar player also...I screwed up when Monte Montgomery came here...so I better pay closer attention

Re: New Brad Paisley Album

I really like the fact that there are more guitar instrumentals in this one.  Les is More is very cool track and the one about Chet Atkins is great too.  Keith Urban really does a bang up job on Join a band.  You really cant compare the 2 to each other.  Urban has a vibe all to his own that works for him, while Brad Pasiley is a monster.  Great CD I got it the day it came out.  Love it.  I think guitar wise its his best work to date.

That's a great track on the album, BB sounds really strong, it's good to hear.

I'm really liking Kentucky Jelly among the instruments, it's reminiscent of Munster Rag.

Re: New Brad Paisley Album

I used to go see Wariner and Gill a lot back in the 80's and I've never really been able to get into Paisley because he seems to lack the soul of those players...lots of fast..very technical / mulitple bender stuff.  Heck....I saw Wariner a bunch of times before I even realized that he had a bender in his strat...that's how subtle he was about using it.

Brad's a great player by any standard....I just wish he's slow down and breathe a bit more with the instrument.
