Brad Paisley recently opened his diary, in a manner of speaking, with his best-selling book, Diary of a Player, which he co-wrote with David Wild. But before you try to get Brad’s attention by yelling, “author, author,” you should know that Brad doesn’t really see himself with that title.

• And when it comes to being a player, you can hear plenty of what Brad does best on his newest single, “Camouflage,” from his hit-packed current album, titled This Is Country Music.  

  Brad Paisley may have a best-selling book, but he says that calling him an “author” isn’t how he sees himself. (:25)
“No, don’t put author there. I…you can’t call me an author; I’m not an author. I am a guitar player. And I happen to have a book about that, but that doesn’t make you an author. That makes David Wild an author. It makes him a miracle worker that he was able to put my feet to the fire and get me to actually finish this thing. I’m still just a guitar player at heart. I mean, I sing, I write songs, I do things like that, but deep down, I am a player.”
