When you see Brad Paisley perform you get a sense that the singer may be having more fun than his fans. The video for his current hit “Water” shows just how much he enjoys having a good time like the rest of us.

It may be easy to just sit and watch the show, but what gets lost sometimes is the incredible playing ability of the country songwriter. Each song he records he is sure to get a good old fashion country lead guitar lick in, and anyone who plays guitar will tell you that Brad Paisley is one of the best country lead guitarists around today.

Brad is getting ready for his performance at the signature event on July 10th for the Aquapalooza on Lake Travis, Texas . It is just a natural that his current release “Water” would be the top country song this week, and almost seems a little fishy (sorry we had to do it) that it would happen at the same time as his apperance at Aqaupalooza.

Each year seems to get better for Brad Paisley, and between the success of his album “American Saturday Night” and the #1 song this week, 2010 looks to be another year of record breaking sales.
