It was less than 3 months ago that I wrote about my discovering Brad Paisley and liking his music, a lot. It was Hits Alive that got me into him and since then I’ve listened to and really enjoyed This Is Country Music and American Saturday Night, particularly the latter. So what was that mini [...]
