Love and War

Editors’ Notes The first thing to grab you about Brad Paisley’s 11th album is the guest list. Skip to track four and you’ll find Mick Jagger living out some Grand Ole Opry fantasies on the gloriously louche “Drive of Shame.” Timbaland adds some down-home beats to the anarchic “Grey Goose Chase” and the introspective “Solar Power Girl,” while a Johnny Cash poem is adapted for the affecting “Gold All Over the Ground.” Despite the A-list help, this is still the sort of rollicking, relatable, and unmistakably good time that Paisley always delivers.
