Brad Paisley: This Is Country Music Praise Echoed by American Songwriter
June 16th, 2011
It seems that everywhere we look we see our opinion of Brad Paisley’s new album “This is Country Music” being echoed. Our take: it is just about the best example one can find of today’s Country Music. Of course we must fess up that we could be biased, in that our publisher partner, ParMusic Group, has a cut on the album, but we’re far from alone in our Paisley praise. Most recently, a review by Eric Allen in American Songwriter said this:
“Brad Paisley’s ninth studio album, This Is Country Music, is the most consistent offering from start to finish of his 12-year career. Despite numerous guest appearances including Don Henley, Alabama, Clint Eastwood, and features duets with Carrie Underwood and Blake Shelton, the fact that Paisley is the star of the show is a true testament to his distinctive musical identity.”

CMT Love Note for Brad Paisley’s New Album Well Deserved
May 21st, 2011
Allison Bonaguro writes in a CMT blog a total love note for Brad Paisley’s new album expected out Monday, May 23. We totally agree, not because our publishing partner ParMusic Group published one of the songs (Toothbrush), but because the album has such a fantastic array of music. Here’s CMT blog post to speak for itself.
Every once in a while, an album brings me so much joy that I cant get enough of it. Brad Paisleys new one, This Is Country Music, to be released Monday May 23, is such an album. From the first note to the last, its everything country should be.
Paisley rhymes “corsage” with “garage” just as effortlessly as he sings a duet with Carrie Underwood that will hit so many couples so close to home. And when all that happens, I want to know everything about the album. So I turn to the liner notes and see if I have what I call Liner-Note Love — when Im as crazy about the words that go into the little piece of paper inside the CD as I am about the words in the songs.

Paisley Says Duet With Carrie Underwood Will Be Next Single
May 17th, 2011
Of course we’re rooting for “Toothbrush” published by our partner ParMusic Group (Credits will show ParMusic’s BMI division Par G Music) to be a single, but right now we’re all happy just being on the album. Here’s the latest from Brad and The Boot.com.
Brad Paisley’s latest album, “This Is Country Music,” is only a week away from hitting shelves, and the country superstar says he already has his next single in mind — his duet, “Remind Me,” with good friend Carrie Underwood.

Carrie Underwood and Clint Eastwood to be on New Brad Paisley Album
March 7th, 2011
CMT reports another duet by Underwood & Paisley will be featured on the new Paisley album set to release in late April. And Clint Eastwood will do what? Whistle?
Quite a motley crew, isn’t it? But in a good way. Hearing about the guest stars on Brad Paisley’s upcoming album definitely kind of piques your curiosity. I mean, it’s obvious Carrie Underwood will sound fabulous singing with Paisley because we’ve heard bits and pieces of them harmonizing on the CMA Awards before. So their duet, “Remind Me,” on Paisley’s next album is kind of a sure thing. But the Eastwood one is a little tougher to imagine. It’s an instrumental track called “Eastwood,” and Eastwood is the whistler. In real life, Eastwood is apparently nothing like the tense, brooding characters he tends to portray in films. In fact, Paisley has used the words “jovial” and “lighthearted” to describe him.
