The Brad Paisley Tour Is Sold Out

Joe Bob — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 18:36:03 +0000

I'm a big fan of the guitar slingers. I have nothing against those folks that just sing or just play or stand there and hold a guitar but don't really play (I call them 'human guitar stands'). But nothing impresses me more than someone who can both sing well and tear down a guitar. Brad Paisley is one of the best and it looks as if I'm not the only one who thinks so.
