August 26th will be the release date for Brad Paisley’s 11th studio album, ‘Moonshine in the Trunk.’ The album is co-produced by Paisley himself alongside Luke Wooten, and 13 of the albums 14 tracks were also co-written by the Grammy award winning country star.
The singer said he’s touching upon some ‘uncharted lyrical territory’ on Moonshine. “I think my format will be like, ‘Oh, great! Good, yes, somebody’s singing that.’ Because right now it’s not hard to stretch from what’s on our airwaves because it’s a very limited sort of thing. There’s a lot of people complaining about that. So I try to look at it from that perspective and I see that as opportunity. That’s like, ‘Well, you won’t expect this, let’s sing this, this will be fun.’ And also something that my fans will be like, ‘You know what, I’m so glad to hear that topic.”
“I hope [Moonshine in the Trunk] is something that you can put in your car and you’ll remember a lot of things about it right first listen, and it’ll also go down fairly smooth. But at the same time, I think you’ll see the creativity, too,” explained Paisley.
Over the past few weeks, Brad has been going ‘rogue’ and leaking tracks off of the album on Twitter, much to the dismay of the label. He has even brought in some friends to help him with his mission including NASCAR star, Jeff Gordon, Joan Rivers, and his wife, Kim Williams-Paisley.
