Brad Paisley is a singer on the country music stage. He is known for being just about as good live as he is when he is recording his records, which is an impressive feat of anyone who has ever tried to do the same thing. Seriously, you just have to search autotune fail and watch the magic... good stuff.

Anyway.. Brad Paisley isn't just an awesome singer, we writes most of the songs that he sings as well, which is another thing that makes this man incredible, especially since almost all of his songs are written to provide the audience with clever puns, and hilarious anecdotes. He is a talented man for sure, and yet he still carries one more attribute.

Brad Paisley is also the lead guitarist in his band. So you throw all these things together and what do you get? A multi-annual entertainer of the year award winner is one answer. Credentials are not exactly what this singer is after however. He just simply loves to play his songs and sing them for his fans. He has a wife and a child which he loves. One thing that is fun to notice about Brad Paisley and his music is his lyrical change as life progresses. First, he sings about meeting women. Then when he is dating the one he would eventually marry, his songs changed to mostly funny ones. His songs are charming in that area. Suddenly he was married and his songs started to be more about love. Now his songs, after being married and having a baby, are getting more clever and controversial rather than clever and cute.

Lately he has come out with a song called "Accidental Racist" that received a lot of flack. Other than that, he has other songs such as "Southern Comfort Zone" that talks about the people who live in the south needing to come out of their hole and explore the world, or at the very least keep an open mind about it. Watching Paisley progress over time is really quite fun if you pay attention to it from album to album.

He has just turned 40 and he is still working like he is 25. He is married to actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley and he has two children: William Huckleberry Paisley, and Jasper Warren Paisley.
