Country, Heavy Hitters take the Burgh'



  Hot Country Songs chart. He also set the record for the most country, number one hit singles. Paisley's lyrics are very meaningful and heartfelt, but he does have the typical songs too. His hit record, Alcohol, may be the song that put him on my radar. It was a fun and catchy tune that was stuck in my head months after listening to it. From a guitarist's perspective, Brad Paisley is a country great in that category. Paisley has released 8 albums, all of which had singles that were on Billboard's

   I'm not personally a country connoisseur, but this tour has put together the ones I can listen to all day. They put together a great tour to open the summer lineup of country concerts. Paisley is bringing along two other popular country artists with him.

   The first of the two is Lee Brice. Brice has had several records peek to the top ten of Billboard's, Hot Country Song chart. His most recent album, Hard 2 Love, has had two No. 1 singles, "A Woman Like You" and the title track "Hard to Love". Brice's music has a pop-country feel to it, he is very similar to Paisley. Most of his songs are written by him, so they are each very meaningful to him. He has also co-written several songs for, Garth Brooks, Eli Young Band, and Tim McGraw, just to name a few.

   The second is Chris Young, who's deep voice makes me think of old school country hits. Young won the show Nashville Star, back in 2006, which shot him to stardom. He has released 3 albums, all of which have well known singles. His most recent album Neon is the album that caught my eye and made me like him. His song, "Tomorrow", has his iconic deep voice, along with very deep lyrics.

   The tour stops in Pittsburgh on Jun 1, at First Niagara Pavilion. It's a great way to start the summer and tickets aren't very expensive either, so I better see you there! -Dante
