Like his friend Vince Gill, Brad Paisley has achieved the often-difficult feat of reconciling being an entertainer and world-class guitarist. He's proven that on four admirable albums, and 5th Gear follows in that vein. Certainly "Ticks," an airy, radio-friendly ditty, is not the true substance here. That comes with such superior fare as the insightful "All I Wanted Was a Car" and "Online," a sly satire of people's Web facades. While his duet with Carrie Underwood ("Oh Love") is a bit cut and dried, Paisley ably handles "Letter to Me," "It Did," and "Mr. Policeman," a 21st-century outrun-the-law tune. The closing hymn, "When We All Get to Heaven," and ripping instrumental "Throttleneck" are Paisley at his best. It's admirable that he invites his venerable buddies, Little Jimmy Dickens, George Jones, Vince Gill, and Bill Anderson, along with Dolly Parton, to join in, but the obligatory "Kung Pao Buckaroos" skit is wearing a bit thin. Better to feature them musically, the way he includes Dickens, Gill, and Anderson on "Bigger Fish to Fry." In a time where lines between county and pop are blurring far too much, it's comforting to know Paisley still realizes and respects the differences. --Rich Kienzle

"Ticks", "On Line, and "I'm Still a Guy" crack me up. You've gotta love the SPIRIT of this CD! It is CERTAINLY a keeper!

Ron Squire Steffey (Williamsburg, Va.)
Brad Paisley has been around in country music long enough to know what music is good, it's called trust! That's why I bought this album.
 Good Country Sound August 23, 2008
J. Tulip (Long Island, NY, USA)
This is a good album of solid classic style country music. I hadn't tried any music by this artist and bought the album without any preconceived notions about it. It's enjoyable.

S. McKenna (Boxford, MA United States)
This is a fantastic CD - in true Brad Paisley fashion! A great variety of fun, up tempo songs like "Ticks" mixed with touching ballads like "Letter to Me", and signature Paisley humor, like "Online." I bought this CD when it was first released and I recently went out and bought my 2nd copy - of the new version with "Waitin' on a Woman" on it. That was one of my favorite songs on the TWW CD and I am so happy that Brad went back to that song and released it!!! Made a great CD even better! Way to go Brad!!!!
Great CD August 3, 2008
J. Hunter (Cincinnati, OH USA)
I bought this as a birthday gift (which was a great hit), and ended up having to find another for myself. If you like Brad Paisley, this one is a must for your collection.
