Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)My interest in country music died around the time Garth retired for the third time. Frankly I just got sick of the techno/pop/country/rock that was flowing from Music Row so shut off my radio and spent a couple of years listening to other stuff. However, a few months ago I tuned in to Nashville Star just to see what was going on there; besides I missed good country music. It pulled me back in. I turned on CMT and sure enough, Shania and Faith were still staring solefully at the camera, embracing themselves and some guy from Rascal Flatts was baring his backside but then I saw and heard Brad Paisley - a young, talented, hot young singer who, praise be, actually sang real country and did it with a sense of humor and a smile in his voice that matched the smile on his face. I bought "Mud on the Tires" and in the days following also purchased his other cd's. What a package of talent. This man can play a mean guitar, write terrific music and make me both laugh and cry with his clever and very relevant lyrics. He writes a love song that's about how love really is, not how Hollywood wants us to think it is. He can mock celebrities and at the same time he IS one! I really like that. "Mud on the Tires" has too many highlights to mention them all, besides others have done a good job of that already. My favorites are probably "Ain't Nothing Like" and "Whiskey Lullaby" but every tract is a winner and I expect "That's Love" to be the next single climbing up the charts. It also has potential to be an entertaining video - Brad Paisley excels at those. And oh, I don't agree with the reviewer that the hymn at the end of each cd is "obligatory" - they sound heartfelt to me and an integral part of what Brad Paisley is trying to do. I hope he keeps it up. Thanks for bringing a lapsed country music fan back into the fold, Brad. You keep singing songs for the real folks and the real folks will keep buying your music.
