I’m a fan of Brad Paisley mainly due to the self-deprecating humor of his first album’s lyrics. This is a man who doesn’t take himself seriously at all, and I love that! Great sense of humor on display throughout almost all of his music. And the music that isn’t funny? Well, it’s generally heartfelt love stories dedicated to his wife, or more seriously, odes to his down-and-out home in Appalachia. Through his music, Brad Paisley comes across as a fun-loving but home-centered man whose heart is definitely in the right place. And he’s a kick-a$$ guitar player, too! Lots to like about this guy.
Not always into country music, but I really like him! He seems like such a genuinely good guy and plays a great guitar!
