4 out of 5 stars What's this bloke doing playing country?   December 29, 2008
Spartacus (Isle of Man)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

First off, I have to state that I'm not an admirer of country music at all- far too depressing for my ears, and I loathe ballads. That being said, I was given this a a Christmas present as it has a picture of a guitar on the cover, and I play one, so it would be poor manners not to at least give it a listen.

It would be an understatement to say that I was very pleasantly surprised and impressed; yes, there are some slow numbers on it I'm afraid (hence the four stars only), but not many. As for the remainder, trust me, this bloke can really play. In fact, he's the most dynamic guitarist I've heard in long while, the slides, bends, trills, harmonics and fills come at you in an avalanche, and I was quite disappointed when the album finished. So much so that I immediately played it again. The track "Start a Band" could have been taken from my own thoughts as a youngster.

So if, like me, your abiding memories of country remain being subjected to your dads hideous collection of Jim Reves, Bobby Bare, et al, give this a go. I assure you, you won't regret it. Nashville, this bloke isn't. Very impressed and pleased that I've got it.

This is just an amazing record. Brad has incredible talent and masters a lot of different music styles; not just country. It is indeed a 'different' record with mostly instrumental tracks, but he pulls it off perfectly. This is as good as it gets. Congrats, Brad! ( too bad the cd-cover design is as ugly as it gets ;-)


3 out of 5 stars Brad wanted to do it.   November 5, 2008

The average Brad Paisley album is chock full of humour, superb musicianship and upbeat and slow tempo songs. This is something slightly different. Brad Paisley wanted to do a guitar based album and this is the result which, unfortunately, means there are far more pure instrumental tracks than usual. There is nothing wrong with the playing by any means but the highlights for me are still the songs that combine the singing and playing especially the duet he made from a demo of the legendary Buck Owens called "Come on in". It is a brilliant tribute to Bucks talents. I did enjoy this album but, I hope, that Brad returns to a full vocal album for his next one.
