Brad Paisley Shares More Tracks, Videos From Upcoming ‘Sons Of The Mountains’
The country favorite has today launched the songs and their videos in a livestream event.
Brad Paisley has released the two new songs from his upcoming Sons of the Mountains album, which now accompany the two previously-shared tracks on the Sons of the Mountains: The First Four Tracks EP.
The country favorite today launches the songs and their videos in a livestream event from 12 noon, in which he is also in conversation with Variety journalist Chris Willman. The new songs are the upbeat title track from the album, which Paisley wrote with Lee Thomas Miller, and the reflective “The Medicine Will,” penned by the pair with Ross Copperman. The videos are directed by Jim Shea and edited by Paisley himself. The star says that he wants listeners to experience these four songs in this specific sequence in the lead-up to the release of the full album.
“Sons of the Mountains” features appearances by two of Nashville’s finest, Dan Tyminski and Jerry Douglas, revered in their own right and as members of Alison Krauss’ Union Station. “The Medicine Will” features a poignant and hard-hitting lyric that addresses the opioid crisis, of which he says his home state is the “epicenter.” Paisley says that the album “ “doesn’t shy away from reflecting real life and real situations going on in America and in our world today. This is what I think country music is about, which is truth.”
The new songs are joined on the EP by Paisley’s previously-released “So Many Summers” and “Same Here,” which featured a moving appearance by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Paisley, a native of West Virginia, wrote on social media: “To do these new songs, I had to go home. Back to that wild, free, beautiful, and also tragic place. So many emotions here for me. From the highs of the New River Gorge Bridge to the lows of an abandoned coal mine, we poured a lot into these.”
