Brad Paisley is currently on the road headlining his Crushin’ It World Tour with special guests Justin Moore and Mickey Guyton — and one thing that Brad always tries to do is be a gracious host to his opening acts, with great food and fun perks like going out to movies or go-karting along the tour. But besides just being a good guy, part of Brad’s philosophy comes from appreciating the people who treated him well when he was the opening act. (AUDIO INFO BELOW)

• Check out tour dates on Brad’s website at BradPaisley.com!
• Brad is currently climbing the charts with the fun of “Crushin’ It,” the latest big hit from his album, Moonshine in the Trunk.
• Did you hear…? Earlier this month, Brad was presented with the CMA International Artist Achievement Award, which “recognizes outstanding achievement by a U.S.-based artist who contributes to the awareness and development of Country Music outside the United States.” Congratulations, Brad!

  Brad Paisley recalls some of the superstars who were especially gracious to him when he was an opening act. (:22)
“I was treated really well by Alan Jackson, for one, is a really good example. Brooks & Dunn were great. There was all kind of perks tourin’ with them. George Strait: I remember…one of my favorite memories is smokin’ cigars in a tent with him and Alan Jackson after one of the shows that we did. We did that several times, got pictures with the three of us on a couch like that, goofin’ around, and it was fun.”
