Consciously backpedaling from the all-encompassing embrace of American Saturday Night, Brad Paisley
narrows his definition of what constitutes modern country on his seventh collection of new songs,
This Is Country Music. Gone are the casual multiculturalism, the allusions to the age of Obama, the
subtle instrumental flourishes that suggested a world outside of country; whenever Paisley chooses to
broaden the horizons on This Is Country Music, he brings in Don Henley to duet on a power ballad or
kicks up the reverb for a bit of landbound surf-rock. From the album title right on down to a rousing
tribute to “Old Alabama” -- a tribute so clever it seamlessly references a handful of the band’s '80s
hits, its chorus playfully inverting “Mountain Music,” then enlists the group to sing the punch line
-- Paisley celebrates the strict confines of country, gently bending its topical borders but adhering
to country customs so strictly he even convinces Clint Eastwood to whistle a Morricone melody on a
spaghetti Western instrumental tribute to the actor. Here’s where Paisley’s skills as a craftsman
come into play. Always a traditionalist -- the kind who saluted the Grand Ol Opry by regularly having
Bill Anderson and Little Jimmy Dickens come out to do some cornpone humor on his albums -- he builds
a song with care but is keenly aware that he’s living in 2011, not 1965.
