the best thing about brad paisley to me is that his music never fails to introuduce a new concept or present an old concept in a new way. altough i don’t find his voice particularly strong, he uses it well and it goes fairly well with the songs especially on tracks like “if love was a plane.” i think he uses the talents he has to the best of his ability and he sure is talented. there are a few songs on this cd such as “bigger fish to fry” that i think he could take out, because it is excessivley long, but overall i think it’s a great album

Wow, I couldn’t disagree more with this review. This album is full of extremely well-written songs. I’m not sure if the reviewer even likes country music, but for those of us who really enjoy great country music, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better album on which to spend your money. Paisley is a fantastic guitar player and though I never thought I’d say this – he might be as good as Keith Urban. His lyrics are witty and fun and his “attempts” at humor are dead on. I’ve been a country music fan for the last 20 years and I’d put this album up against just about anything I’ve heard come out of Nashville during that time. “Letter to Me” is one of the best songs I’ve heard in a very long time. Not only are the lyrics brilliant, but the delivery is touching. I have a 17 year-old son and I see so much of him and myself in this song. It would seem that there are just so many ways to say the same thing. Lucky for us, Brad keeps coming up with new, intelligent and extremely witty ways to say them. Keep up the good work Brad. I can’t wait to hear what’s next and I’ll definitely be going to a live show the first chance I get.

I’d give the album a 4 1/2. Agreeing simply with the two other comments before me. He’s got plenty of great and powerful songs on the album and he’s also got some fun, unique songs that tackle lines never crossed in the genre before. Nicely done Brad.

Oh and I hope “Oh Love” and “Letter To Me” do become singles because their probably the two best slow songs I’ve ever heard from Brad!

I’ve decided not to write a review of this CD , mostly for reasons of time but I’d give this a solid four stars

I’ve heard from several radio guys and “Oh Love”, with Carrie is supposed to be a single some time later on in the year. I adore the melody of that song, and Carrie’s harmony is just plain haunting. I agree 100% about his musicianship on this album, he is great. I also really like “Letter to Me”, I think the message is what touches me most.
