Brad Paisley

Diary of a Player: How My Musical Heroes Made a Guitar Man out of Me is an interesting look into the life of Brad Paisley with how he got into the world of music. It is full of his charm and his voice just seems to come out of the book with each word that is written.

Okay-wouldn't know a Brad Paisley song if it hit me over the head. But my dad loves him as a guitar player so I read it to humor him. It was a really fun read with some inspirational and karmic moments that I really enjoyed.

This is a wonderful memoir from a genuine country artist. Simply put, Brad Paisley recalls what and who inspired him to realize his musical dreams.

At the tender age of eight years old, Brad picked up his first guitar, a Christmas gift from his grandfather. This inspired not only guitar playing, but songwriting as well.

Brad relates in this memoir how the next couple of decades made him who he is today, a country music artist. He tells of the hard work, patience, difficult gigs, and never show more giving up. He kept his focus on his dream. He recounts tales of his influences and mentors. Brad also discusses his unique equipment and sound system.

Throughout it all, Brad Paisley kept his sense of humour and trademark wit. These are evident in this enjoyable memoir. He is a contemporary country artist, but a traditional guy. I admire that about him as do many others, including his peers. He has done much collaboration with a variety of artists. show less
