LOVE AND WAR

Brad Paisley Arista Nashville

When you can namecheck the UFC and Zebco fishing reels in the lead track to your 11th studio album, Love and War, you are probably Grammy Award-winning country music machine Brad Paisley.

All of the familiar icons are here: beer cans, pickup trucks, lip-kissing and jobs you have to get to. But the hidden secret is that Paisley can play the paint off a guitar and get the biggest names in the business to sing along with him.

Sir Mick Jagger helps him out with stellar vocals on Drive of Shame. John Fogerty weighs in on the album’s title song, Love And War, a soaring call-out to take care of America’s veterans when they come home broken.
