By the time Brad Paisley dropped his twelfth studio album, Love and War, it felt like country music’s favorite guitar-slinging crooner was ready to hit the reset button. With 16 tracks, this album feels like Paisley getting back to being Paisley, making Love and War one of his most interesting and truest records yet. Brad Paisley’s ‘Love and War’ Album: Opening TracksThe album kicks off with “Heaven South,” a hometown ballad with steel guitar that helps paint a picture of a small-town life. A love song that’s more traditional, it’s a song made for first dances, vow renewals, and a soundtrack for a mushy Instagram post. The album’s title track, “Love and War,” pairs Paisley with John Fogerty for an anthem that shines a spotlight on the mistreatment of war veterans.
