Generally, I like Brad Paisleys music. Hes not afraid to try something different
and has an easy-going voice and great songs. His previous album (5th Gear) is
not as strong as "Mud on the tires", but this album really amazes me. He is a
great guitar-player and he takes the listener through various styles of music:
country, jazz, blues and rock. It never gets boring or corny, and every track is
different from the previous one. The few songs with lyrics are a welcome
interlude and are all great songs with great artists.
What is missing? In my
mind the greatest guitar-player is the late Frank Zappa. It would have been
interesting to hear an adaption by Brad Paisley, but thats just me talking.
Truly a great album.
