Brad Paisley says that his next album, the follow-up to Moonshine in the Trunk, will focus on the positive. Speaking with AZCentral, he said he's looking to spread cheer among the masses.
"You know that feeling you get in the middle of the week of 'I can't do anything right' or 'It's not going my way?' But every week ends with a Friday, and that's where we excel, I think, at country music," Paisley explains.
"I see people at the end of long weeks. That's when I have my therapy session with them. I stand there, looking out at them, and they're like, 'Can you help erase what my boss said to me on Wednesday?' That's our job. And it flavored a lot of the record that way."
Paisley continues his Crushin' It tour on July 17 at Cleveland's Blossom Music Center.
