Paisley surprises lucky fan

Friday, October 16, 2009 – Brad Paisley surprised a lucky fan last night at his American Saturday Night tour stop in Jacksonville, Fla. with a 2009 Chevy Silverado pickup truck for being the 1,000,000th fan to attend his concert in the last year.

Tim and Amber Brown from Orange Park, Fla., with their two children James and Logan, were approached before the show and given front row seats under the guise of an upgrade and then immediately following the show were invited backstage to meet Paisley - still not knowing why or what was happening.

When they were introduced to Paisley, he posed for a quick photo and then said, "Let's go for a walk." As they were walking, he told them they were the millionth ticket holder, and he had planned something special for them. When they approached the truck Paisley handed Tim Brown a set of keys and said, "It's yours."

Amber was overcome with emotion and speechless while her husband shook the singer's hand and thanked him over and over. Brown is in the Navy, and the couple is expecting their third child. "You just don't know how much of a blessing this truck is to us," said Tim.

The American Saturday Night tour continues on to Tampa (Oct. 16) and West Palm Beach (Oct. 17) playing to capacity crowds in each venue before heading to New York City and Madison Square Garden on Oct. 21.

Yet, a few things remain intact - great guitar playing and singing and a sense of humor without being too kitschy. In fact, Paisley manages to combine the ultra serious with his typical sense of humor. The seriousness is never more apparent from Paisley than on the controversial Accidental Racist with LL Cool J, who helped write and perform it. ...
CD review - Hits Alive Brad Paisley's new live hits CD is a bit of a tease. That's because it only goes half way in replicating the true live Paisley experience. Watching the accompanying concert videos at a Paisley show, whether the venue screen is showing Andy Griffith during Waitin' on a Woman or the montage of recently-deceased celebrities that accompanies When I Get Where I'm Going, reveal how Paisley simply must be seen to be fully enjoyed. Nevertheless, Paisley in concert and captured on ...
CD review - American Saturday Night Brad Paisley has grown up on his eighth album. Yes, the West Virginian maintains a sense of humor, but apparently aging has left its mark on a maturing singer who has never forsaken his country roots. That is ever so apparent in songs like Anything Like Me and Oh Yeah, You're Gone. The former finds Paisley looking at the passage of time through his son's life in a tender, but not sappy look. On the latter, he's a five-year-old boy who doesn't get what he wants, which his grandfather notices. ...
