Hitmaker Brad Paisley Wraps Up '04 in Style, Ready to Kick-Off 2005 Headlining Tour
Award-winning Arista Nashville chart-topper Brad Paisley heads into the New Year in high gear on the heels of two CMA Award wins, a Grammy nomination, and a Top-10-and-climbing smash single with "Mud on the Tires," and now, Paisley's acclaimed Mud on the Tires album has been RIAA-certified Double Platinum.
The certification marks yet another testament to Paisley's career sizzle, which already finds the multi-talented entertainer's 2005 Mud & Suds headlining tour (with Sara Evans and very special guest, Andy Griggs) proving to be a hot ticket. Paisley recently closed out his '04 concerts performing at the sold-out Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles as part of KZLA radio's Tilden's Children Christmas Concert charity benefit. More...
