It's summer, and Brad Paisley has a new CD on the shelves. "Time Well Wasted" they say, it is the fourth in his still young career so. CDs by Brad Paisley on time at 2-year intervals: 1999 "Who Needs Pictures" 2001 "Part II", 2003 "Mud On The Tires" and so now "Time Well Wasted". That is saying something to endure in a time where others disappear without a trace after the first publication. With the inclusion of "The World" is about the same "hard" to the point with the absolutely necessary concession to the presence of the Country Music: Wild as happens to this world is the US country radio tribute must be paid up. But the melody but then retains the upper hand, and to hear soon the already incomparable voice of the young stars. This is important for the future, Mr. Paisley. Because of the voices you will recognize them, the big ones - well, let's say in 30 years, when the country music again annhört different. With "Alcohol" Brad Paisley has in recent weeks made already quite wide in the charts. Okay, and why should I "Time Well Wasted" else rip off your feet? Simply because Brad Paisley stands for modern good and excellent and above all reliable country music, and he thus accomplished the feat manages to bring even the views of older as younger followers to a common denominator. As well otherwise only Alan Jackson. But not before one of the now also to an older generation? Brad Paisley is a brilliant guitarist - on the stage in his shows as a musician in his musical performances on CDs. "I'll Take You Back" begins with a furious kick, and the already mandatory instrumental also not lacking: "Time Warp" is his name. Quite interesting is the music of this compilation whenever Brad Paisley the Old School Country approximates or even practiced. This takes place from 6 song (You Need A Man Around Here) and is a certain fraction of Hörfolge. That is of course the high delight primarily "traditionalists" among us, if we think back by 50 years, then had at that time a Ray Price (Flowers), had a Charlie Walker (Love Is Never-Ending) had a Mel Tillis together with Bill Phillips (Out In The Parkin 'Lot) can also sing these songs. But now we are more just 50 years and today sings Brad Paisley, what others did earlier. Or he sings together with Alan Jackson: The duet "Out In The Parkin 'Lot" promises something big. Perhaps "Event of the Year"? And then lets Brad Paisley rest come with "Rainin 'You" - the instruments (mandolin and Dobro guitar case) discreetly in the background. And to ponder I come back in the time of Jimmie Rodgers's going at least for brief 50 sec with "The Uncloudy Day". Explanation is needed. I have the best will not for what purpose do these 50 seconds. The 2nd duet recording "features" Dolly Parton more in the background. A nice Melodies (When I Get Where I'm Going). What is unusual about this compilation is then that one of the strongest images of this CD, namely the title track "Time Well Wasted, as the last of a series of beautiful, good, so-so and a beautiful image that will be offered. And what I finally am starting with the "Cornographie" to? Perhaps as much: The Grand Ole Opry Theatre offers: George Jones, Bill Anderson, Dolly Parton, Little Jimmy Dickens, among others as the main character in a short radio show the old style of the 30s. Fun must stop. And preparing this CD anyway.
