    Time Not Wasted

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 27, 2006

    Pros: Great songs

    Cons: NONE

    Brad is an amazing guitarist and here lies the proof. On most of his albulms, he has at least one song that shows off this great talent and this albulm is no different. While all the songs are great I have to say that my favorite part of the cd is th...e end. He is joined by legends like: Little Jimmy Dickens, George Jones, Dolly Parton, and others. Here they get together in a sound booth and record a skit,and they are hilarious!!! On this one in particular, Dolly Parton joins the guys in a continuation of another skit on his previous albulm, this one is called Cornography. If you don't want to listen to the cd, at least listen to this. You won't be able to turn it off! Read more Less

    Eclectic & unique appeal for a wide audience

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 27, 2006

    Pros: original material, splendid vocalizing and excellent guitar playing

    Cons: If the cornball last track annoys you, just skip it

    Playing Time – 65:41 -- With much of Brad’s original material, splendid vocalizing and excellent guitar playing, “Time Well Wasted” is a great addition to this West Virginian’s musical canon. It also includes his latest hit, “Alcohol,” recorde...d with live audience. The “medicine and poison to help you up or make you fall” that wry-witted Paisley sings about might also just be an appropriate analogy for the many moods and emotions that he can convey with his songs. “She’s Everything” and “Love is Never-Ending” are strong love songs on the album. The album’s opener, “The World,” is a fresh outlook about how one’s undying commitment and devotion can make another feel important, special and needed. “Easy Money” is a somewhat autobiographical account of the various band members who used to work as roofer, truck driver, salesmen, garbage man and hot dog stand operator. Besides featuring many superior instrumentalists in the idiom, the cornerstone of Paisley’s music is his lyrics. He finds ways to engage and draw us in with multiple catchy hooks and messages that often both humorous and powerful. “You Need a Man Around Here” shows that he’s pretty perceptive when he sings about a woman’s place needing a bass on the wall, beer, Maxim and Field & Stream magazines, and someone to kill the spiders. Brad offers some rousing collaborations. With Alan Jackson, “Out in the Parking Lot” is a Guy Clark/Darrell Scott song about partying on the fender of someone else’s truck at the local honky tonk. In the gospel vein, “The Uncloudy Day” only spans 53 seconds, recreates a scratchy LP sound, and serves as the prologue to a song with Dolly Parton. She contributes her defining harmony vocals to the reflective “When I Get Where I'm Going,” about what’s ahead on that evergreen shore, a home where no storm clouds rise. “Time Warp” is a barn-burning instrumental that allows many of the stellar accompanists to shine. The CD features players Jim “Moose” Brown, Ben Sesar, Kevin “Swine” Grantt, Justin Williamson, Randel Currie, Jerry Douglas, Stuart Duncan, Bryan Sutton and others. A host of vocalists also appear. On the bonus closing track, “Cornography,” we hear fun narrative with Little Jimmy Dickens, George Jones, Bill Anderson and Dolly Parton. At first, I questioned the rationale for ending the album with this “corn,” but then I realized it as his offbeat way to pay respect to these Grand Ole Opry greats. If the sketch annoys you, just skip the last track. “Time Well Wasted,” Paisley’s fourth album, has an eclectic and unique way of appealing to a very wide audience. Part singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, and humorist, Brad Paisley has produced an album that has mainstream sensibilities and strong, personalized signature sound and personality. For those who don’t believe in Brad, they can “kiss his backstage pass.” (Joe Ross) Read more Less

    One Of The Best Country CDs --- Ever

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 23, 2006

    Pros: Great Music, Great Lyrics

    Cons: That It Has To End

    Absolutely one of the best CDs I have ever heard. From start to finish every song on the CD, with the exception of two, are great. Some of my favorite songs... Alcohol - Funny and true song; great to sing a long with I'll Take You Back - Great... lyrics...I am still trying to picture Clint Eastwood doing ballet in a pink leotard You Need A Man Around Here - Another funny song; love the line about her t.v. being so small Out In The Parkin' Lot - Nice duet with Alan Jackson When I Get Where I'm Going - Beautiful song and Dolly adds another great voice to it Cornography - Little Jimmy Dickens, George Jones, Bill Anderson & Dolly Parton in the continuation of the Kung Pao Buckaroos; Little Jimmy Dickens has some great lines about Dolly's endowment. Hilarious! Definitely a must have CD for any fan of country music. Read more Less
