In an unusual move for an established country singer, Brad Paisley`s PLAY is a primarily instrumental album that puts its focus entirely on Paisley`s underrated guitar work. Far from being a traditional country album, or even a contemporary country-pop album, PLAY works in a wide variety of genres, including Les Paul-style jazz, ripping surf rock, old-fashioned electric Chicago blues, and metal-tinged rock & roll.
Paisley also assembles quite a list of guest stars: a re-recording of an early hit features a guest appearance by the actor Andy Griffith, while the Bakersfield country rocker "Come On In" features the late Buck Owens and a bluesy take on "Let the Good Times Roll" welcomes B.B. King. Two vocal tracks, "Start A Band" and "More Than Just This Song," feature Keith Urban and Steve Warriner, respectively, while the epic "Cluster Pluck" is a tongue-in-cheek high-speed dash through the history of country guitar showcasing James Burton, Vince Gill, Albert Lee, and four other guitarists besides. PLAY is a detour, but a worthwhile one.

Customer Reviews
Overall Rating: 5
The titles of the album and my review say it all: you can't go wrong with Brad Paisley. He can make a guitar do things nobody ever imagined, and although instrumentals are rare these days, Brad's "pickin' ability" deserves the spotlight, Very well done!
