With that in mind, any fan of traditional country couldn't help but love the show that Brad puts on. He mixes in his own music with songs of his musical heroes like George Strait, Buck Owens, Roger Miller, Merle Haggard, Vern Gosdin, Alabama, Don Williams and others. And his guitar playing? Incredible!

Brad asked us if we all loved traditional country music. Everyone screamed "Yes!" He said that was good because that was all you'd hear during his show. He said that there are other artists that are going into other directions, but that he would always play traditional music.

Brad told us that about a month ago he started recording a new album. He said he wrote a song for those people that love to fish. He then sang "I'm Gonna Miss Her." I'm assuming that is the name, as he never said the title. The song is about a guy that loves to fish, and his girlfriend asks him to choose between fishing or her, and he sings, "I'm gonna miss her..."

Prior to singing "He Didn't Have To Be" Brad said that he learned not to write songs to make money. Instead he writes songs from the heart. He said that when he and his friend Kelly Loveless wrote "He Didn't Have To Be," they just wanted to write a song that would make Kelly's wife cry. It worked... and it made lots of other people cry as well.

If you think country music is going to heck in a handbasket, just check out Brad Paisley in a concert near you. I think you'll agree that if Brad has any say in it, traditional country will always be alive and well. And, you'll go home respecting the man and his music, carrying a copy of his CD, if you don't already have it, and maybe even a t-shirt too.

Don't forget to check out the photos of Brad in the Country Photo Album.
