Brad Paisley

Newly signed EMI Records Nashville artist Brad Paisley (Net News 2/22) has revealed the title of his first album at his new label home, "Son Of the Mountains," due out later this year. His first song from the project, "Same Here," released today (2/24), and features a spoken word segment from Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The release date marks the first anniversary since the war in Ukraine began. Proceeds from the song will go to UNITED24 to rebuild and restore homes damaged by the war. Paisley's relationship with Pres. Zelenskyy grew from his participation in the 'Ukraine: Answering the Call' charity telethon in 2022, which was broadcast in prime time in the USA. Last month, Paisley was named an ambassador for UNITED24. 

Paisley said the forthcoming album is "a collection of songs that I’ve been writing and working on for a while now. The music encompasses a lot of big themes and perspectives from a kid that came from a small town in West Virginia after having seen a bit of the world. The record doesn’t shy away from reflection, real life and situations that are going on and what I think Country music is - which is truth.” (Photo: Jeff Lipsky)
