Country superstar Brad Paisley is digging into both the past and present for his ongoing project, Tacklebox. The collection blends songs from early in his career that were unreleased and unrecorded, with newly written tracks inspired by the classic country sound of the ’80s and ’90s, drawing influence from artists like Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn, Alabama, George Strait, and Garth Brooks. The first single from the Tacklebox project is “Fallin'”, and is available now on all digital streaming platforms. Check it out HERE.
“I see this ‘project’ as never-ending. It’s almost like the fans have a direct link to my Dropbox or to a playlist that never ends,” said Brad. “We are calling it Tacklebox because it’s a box full of hooks, country lyric hooks. In this digital age, I have every song I’ve ever written at my fingertips. This project gave us a license to dig back into the catalog of songs that were never released, that feel like a time period, a style of writing, a sound, and nostalgia. We went back into the studio to record or re-record at The Castle in Franklin, TN, the same place where several of my first few albums were recorded. When I first started writing and recording music, I couldn’t have dreamed of the ability to put something out instantly for the fans.”
To further celebrate the release of new music, Paisley has also announced additional dates for his BRAD PAISLEY LIVE Tour, launching August 27 in Bridgeport, Connecticut. These new dates follow a run of festival appearances and European shows this summer. Select dates will feature rising country artist Jake Worthington as support, with more special guests expected to be revealed soon.
