Throttleneck - by Brad Paisley

Just got back this morning (as in, 3am) from 4-wheeling & camping.  Coincidentally (or maybe not), I'm listening to "Mud on the Tires".
Brad Paisley was born Oct. 28th, 1972, born & raised in Glen Dale, WV.  He received his first guitar when he was 8 years old, & “delivered his first public performance at church two years later”.  A short time later, he formed his first bands, the C-Notes, & began writing his own material.  He continued to work on his music, and by 1999, he released his own debut album “Who Needs Pictures” on Arista Records.  His single “He Didn’t Have to Be” (“an ode to loving stepfathers”) gathered attention & won him the Song (& also Video) of the year on TNN & CMT’s Country Weekly Music Awards in 2000.  His sophomore, simple titled “Part II” [Arista, 2001], spent 104 weeks on Billboard’s Country Albums charts & made it to #3 in 2001.  He has now released a total of 8 studio albums, accompanied by a couple of compilation albums, a Christmas album, and “Play” – a primarily instrumental album ( - 5 tracks have vocals including duets with Keith Urban – “Start a Band”; and B.B. King – “Let the Good Times Roll”).  This song is from  his third album “Mud On the Tires” [Arista, 2003].
