Brad Paisley - "American Saturday Night"
By: Matt Bjorke

It’s easy to overlook an amazing fact about Brad Paisley. Lost in the platinum albums, sold-out concert dates, hosting gigs and award wins is the fact that Brad Paisley remains one hell of a songwriter. While many songwriters have periods where creativity ebbs and flows, Paisley seems to consistently be working at an insanely high level of creativity. After the important message of “Welcome To The Future,” Brad Paisley will be going for his twelfth chart-topping single in a row (on both charts) with the title track to his American Saturday Night album.
Like friend and fellow artist Keith Urban, Brad mixes in some great guitar work within his love song to the diversity that is America. While Toby Keith’s similar “American Ride” tried to paint similar patriotic messages, this single finds Paisley singing lyrics like “It's like we're all livin' in a big ol' cup/Just fire up the blender and mix it all up” that tell the story in a much more interesting way. The melody isn’t in-your-face and the lyrics aren’t snarky, instead it’s a nice, observational piece of songwriting from Brad Paisley. There simply isn’t any way that this single doesn’t find itself at the top of the charts and while I thought “Welcome To The Future” may have been paisley’s best piece of songwriting in years, he might just have topped himself with “American Saturday Night.”

First of all I've seen them both in cencert and trust me brad is every bit ad good if not better than urban on guitarAnd this song in puticulaer along with welcome to the future which is ammazing live are both easily some of his best work yet but I bet you also didn't like letter to me I'm sorry I agree with the reviewer your just gealouse because paisleys step up his game more than artists like urban who releases a laid back song like only you can love me this way which only went to th top in my opinion because urban sang it and pulled it out vocally but if it upsets you to see him doing well what will you do when he beats urban out next year or the following for entertainer of the year

Sorry, but I just don't feel any excitement or connection to Brad Paisley's music. Also his guitar playing doesn't do it for me as well as Keith Urban's does. Keith leaves me mesmerized just watching him play!
