With three GRAMMYs®, 14 Academy of Country Music Awards and 14 Country Music Association Awards including Entertainer of the Year, Brad Paisley is one of the most recognized artists in the history of country music. On April 9, Brad continues his evolution of country music with the release of his highly-anticipated new studio album, Wheelhouse.
It's all about leaving your comfort zone," explains Paisley about the album's title. "It's like, what is my wheelhouse? You know,the baseball expression, sort of what is in your strike zone, your wheelhouse, where you're comfortable. We really have tried to go out on a limb with this record and see how far we can stretch certain things."
Wheelhouse also allowed Brad to produce the album on his own for the first time in his career. Wheelhouse's first single "Southern Comfort Zone" is Paisley's fastest rising song of his career and will allow for 2 hit singles at radio prior to the album's launch. Likewise, the video for "Southern Comfort Zone," a fan favorite, rapidly climbed the charts to the #4 position at CMT in a matter of a few weeks.
