Brad Paisley's inventive, note-bending guitar work is as much a part of his signature sound as his voice and songwriting. Usually, he hides this skill within songs that focus attention his other talents. Except on the occasional instrumental, a listener has to pay close attention to hear Paisley's dazzling string work. On Play, however, his guitar is the star. For the most part, he shuts up and plays, tilting the album toward instrumentals in a variety of styles that show off his speed, technique and range. He plays surf, rockabilly, blues and swing. There's back-country jams and country melodies, and a country rocker with Buck Owens, recorded shortly before his death in 2007. On the humorous "Start A Band," one of the few tunes with lyrics, Paisley and Urban trade guitar licks while celebrating the rites of passage found when a young musician forms his first group. Actor Andy Griffith shows up in a re-recording of Paisley's hit, "Waitin' On A Woman." And on "Cluster Pluck," Paisley gathers seven ace guitarists, including Vince Gill and Steve Wariner, for a course in country guitar styles. As usual, Paisley emphasizes good-time humor and tender romanticism, showing his personality even when he lets his fingers do the talking. ~The Canadian Press Released in October 2008, 16 tracks, mostly instrumentals, including:
