Brad Paisley

The artist releases Alcohol, from his album, Time Well Wasted. 

The artist releases his single, Celebrity, from his album, Mud On The Tires.

The artist releases I’m Gonna Miss Her, from Part II. When asked if he is concerned that some of his songs that are written from a male perspective aren’t universal enough:

I’ve found that with songs like that – a good example is I’m Gonna Miss Her – those are the ones that seem to get the biggest rise out of women. I think it’s because women see right through a song that attempts at saying, ‘You’re perfect, you’re this, you’re that’. It’s got to be really heartfelt because female intuition is really difficult to pass by if it’s not sincere. They have radar when it comes to things like that. But when you’re writing from the perspective of a man, it’s truly easier to get past that radar.

The artist releases his single, Two People Fell In Love, from his album, 5th Gear.

The artist releases He Didn’t Have To Be, from his album, Who Needs Pictures.

He Didn’t Have To Be was probably the most life-changing three minutes that I’ve ever written, because I really believe we wouldn’t be sitting here anymore talking. Maybe we’d be sitting here with me having written a #1 song for somebody else, but I don’t think I’d still have a record deal without that song. It broke the ice for me with radio. It was like you could see potential in it, and that’s an important thing. I was really lucky, it wasn’t like we knew what we were doing. I just happened [to write] that with my best friend from the bottom of my heart about his situation.
