Excuse me while I attempt to contain myself. Texas' own, and my personal favorite Eli Young Band, has been nominated for THREE Academy of Country Music awards. These guys are up against the biggest names in music in some of the biggest categories.
The lineup for the 2012 Houston Livestock Show And Rodeo was released earlier today, and this year looks like one of the best ever.
Performers include Brad Paisley, Jason Aldean, The Eli Young Band, Alabama, and many others will be rocking the Bayou City.
Blake Shelton and 'God Gave Me You' is now one win away from being in the top song of 2011 finals. Shelton had another victory yesterday...in fact, he beat himself, but just barely.
'God Gave Me You' took just 54% of the vote over 'Who Are You When I'm Not Looking'.
Now, whoever wins today's match between our current champion song versus 'Remind Me' by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood, will go on to the finals tomorrow.
Next year will be a big one for Brad Paisley. In a recent interview with USA Today, the CMT ‘Artists of the Year’ honoree revealed that in addition to his huge Camobunga! Tour, he’ll also be working on a new album. 2012 is slated to be a year of “intense creativity.”
Brad Paisley has recorded and released a new song called ‘Hard Life,’ which was penned by his friend, 23-year-old Joe Kindregan. Kindregan suffers from A-T (ataxia-telangiectasia), which is a rare, fatal and genetic disease where symptoms of disorders like cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, immune deficiencies and cancer are manifested.
Back in October, Brad Paisley reportedly opened a lawsuit under the radar against his present record label, Sony Music Nashville, to obtain royalties he claims were overlooked on his songwriting catalog.
Another Justin Moore victory on the Daily Duel as 'If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away' handily defeats 'Let Me Down Easy' by Billy Currington by getting 72% of the vote.
The battle to the top song of 2011 continues as Moore will now take on Brad Paisley and Alabama with 'Old Alabama'.
Listen to both songs after the jump.
Keith Urban may not be able to speak or sing while he recovers from throat surgery, which he had to remove a polyp from his vocal chord, but he will certainly continue to work and play guitar to keep himself busy. Urban will pass the time with good friend and fellow country superstar Brad Paisley — the two will simply handle their instruments, and you certainly don’t need to talk in order to play guitar. That’s why musical is a universal and voiceless language.
We’re not pulling for Brad Paisley to quit his day job, but the “Whiskey Lullaby” singer is shaping up to be quite the author. Paisley released his first book, ‘Diary of a Player,’ on Nov. 1, and the title has spent the past two weeks living on the New York Times Best Sellers list.
Any event that gets Brad Paisley to put on a suit and tie must be a pretty big deal, but Paisley wasn’t the only star to drop his country duds for the annual ASCAP Country Music Awards in Nashville on Sunday night. Keith Urban, Lee Ann Womack, Josh Turner and Dierks Bentley — all seen in these pictures — were among the artists who took in the show from the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center in Nashville.
Brad Paisley was the subject of a recent ‘Nightline’ profile as he promoted his new book ‘Diary of a Player: How My Musical Heroes Made a Guitar Man Out of Me,’ and on the TV special, he dropped a bombshell: He was recently pulled over for a suspected DUI. The only caveat was that … Paisley wasn’t drunk! In fact, he doesn’t drink or smoke at all.
Brad Paisley are Carrie Underwood are facing some downright nasty competition (if one believes they are truly competing for their jobs as CMA co-hosts). In the just released commercial for the November 9 broadcast, Miss Piggy throws open the audition room door and proclaims the job hers.
