Kicked off by the smash single “River Bank,” Brad Paisley’s new album, Moonshine in the Trunk, will be released this Monday, August 25th! Brad co-produced the album and had a hand in writing most every song, and it’s a collection that Brad thinks will really resonate with his fans. (AUDIO INFO BELOW)

  Brad Paisley says that he sees his fans — and himself — in his new album, Moonshine in the Trunk. (:27)
“This is the record where I am seeing the faces of the people I look at every night on these songs. I’m looking at the coolest fan base. And this album I think describes them. I know it describes me to a T, in many ways, you know? This is an album that doesn’t necessarily ignore the trials and tribulations of living in 2014, but what it really says is, ‘Okay, things aren’t perfect, but it’s Friday.'”

  Brad Paisley says that Moonshine in the Trunk is very much a feel-good kind of record. (:12)
“It’s a very positive album. I call it a ‘Mason jar half full’ kind of record, where it’s the positive, bright side of life, and every song on here should be easy to love.”

  Brad Paisley would have loved if he could have gotten a ZinePak-styled version of some of his favorite artists’ records. (:28)
“I would have eaten this up if I could have gotten something like this back in the day when I was buyin’ Clint Black albums or something, you know? And to be able to see pictures of how they did it in the studio — Restless Heart, that would’ve blown my mind to see them or Alabama or something the way it was goin’ down and how they recorded and what they looked like when they were recording it, and it’s a really neat, in-depth look, and I hope that fans will take the time to look through it ’cause it’s really worth seeing what went into this record.”

  Brad Paisley says that there’s a lot for fans to enjoy in the special ZinePak edition of his album. (:29)
“It’s very in-depth. There’s a lot of great photographs of the studio, there’s photographs of our shows. It’s worth getting that because, to me…you also get a great little souvenir Moonshine in the Trunk bumper sticker. I think it’s a really fun way to get more out of this record, because who doesn’t love a great magazine, and who doesn’t want a great CD, and you can get them both, and they go hand in hand. You can listen to this record, read through that as you do, and realize the way it came to life.”
