Brad Paisley Releases Another Single
June 19, 2008 by Heather
Brad Paisley has announced his next single, “Waitin’ on a Woman,” but it’s from his previous album “Time Well Wasted,” not his current “5th Gear!”
“5th Gear” has produced four number one singles so far (”Ticks,” “Online,” “Letter to Me” and “I’m Still a Guy”), and its release initially meant “Waitin’ on a Woman” wouldn’t be released as a single. The song will now actually be included in new pressings of “5th Gear.”
The video for the song is due out at the end of June.
Video Week: Brad Paisley’s ‘Letter to Me’
April 11, 2008 by Heather
Brad Paisley’s “Letter to Me” is the third single release from his 2007 album 5th Gear. It spent four weeks at number one on Billboard Hot Country Songs charts this past February.
Brad has said he was inspired to write the song after his wife, actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley, was asked to contribute to a book entitled “What I Know Now: Letters to My Younger Self.” He liked the idea and took the better part of a week to write it as he kept writing a new letter nearly every day before settling on the final draft.
He references many of his own experiences and aspects of his childhood in the song, including a reference to “Tomlinson and Eighth,” two streets in his hometown of Glen Dale, West Virginia. “Mrs. Brinkman,” another mention in the song, was a teacher at John Marshall High School in Glen Dale until last year.
