A few years ago, when my interest in country music was first growing, I discovered the music of Brad Paisley. It didn’t take me very long to realize that Paisley is just the kind of contemporary country music artist I like best. He’s got a very good singing voice, plays guitar about as well as anyone I’ve seen or heard in recent years, writes or co-writes most of his own songs, doesn’t take himself too seriously, and has a keen sense of humor that he doesn’t mind injecting into his songs.
I recently purchased the MP3 version of “This is Country Music,” which is Paisley’s eighth album, first released in 2011. It’s the fourth album of Paisley’s that I now own (the others being “Time Well Wasted,” “5th Gear,” and “Mud on the Tires”). To my ears, “This is Country Music” just barely nudges “Time Well Wasted” out of first place on my list of favorite Paisley albums.
Simply put, “This is Country Music” is terrific in every respect. It has an impressively strong line-up of songs. The title song, “This is Country Music,” kicks things off by throwing down a gauntlet to music fans everywhere – this is what country music stands for. No apologies. No compromises. No regrets…
What follows are fourteen additional songs that highlight Paisley’s tremendous talents as a singer, songwriter, and guitar player. There are tunes filled with Paisley’s sly humor (“Old Alabama,” “Working on a Tan,” and “Camouflage”). There are love ballads, including “Remind Me,” a soaring duet with Carrie Underwood. Two especially poignant songs that display Paisley’s compassion for others are “A Man Don’t Have to Die” and “One of Those Lives.” Paisley includes “Eastwood,” a fiery guitar instrumental,” and rounds out this superlative album with a bluegrass-infused gospel song entitled “Life’s Railway to Heaven.”
Guest performers abound on “This is Country Music.” In addition to Carrie Underwood, one can hear in different songs Alabama, Sheryl Crow, Don Henley, Blake Shelton, Marty Stuart, Carl Jackson, and even the raspy voice of none other than Clint Eastwood.
“This is Country Music” reminds me every day of why I have grown to enjoy country music so much. It’s now one of my most frequently listened-to albums on all of my MP3 players. Most highly recommended.
