SHE’S EVERYTHING - BRAD PAISLEY
Brad Paisley’s “Time Well Wasted,” which picked up album of the year honors at the Academy of Country Music Awards last spring, is one of the best country sets in years. Though much of his career has been built on such clever uptempo hits as “Alcohol” and “Celebrity,” this fourth single demonstrates how compelling Paisley can be on a beautiful ballad. Penned by the artist and Will Nance, the song has great lines like “She’s the giver I wish I could be/And the stealer of the covers/She’s a picture in my wallet of my unborn children’s mother.” It’s a stunner with a well-crafted lyric, effectively showing his softer side, that looks sure to be another chart-topper. Meanwhile, the label could go another four singles deep and not lose any momentum on this album. Billboard
