Son Of The Mountains: The First Four Tracks is available now
Global country music superstar Brad Paisley is releasing the first four songs from his upcoming album Son Of The Mountains together for the first time with Son Of The Mountains: The First Four Tracks. Paisley wants listeners to experience these four songs in this specific sequencing to help paint the journey involved in writing the music for this record. An album that Brad says, “doesn’t shy away from reflecting real life and real situations going on in America and in our world today. This is what I think country music is about, which is truth.”
Son Of The Mountains: The First Four Tracks is available now and includes the previously released tracks “Same Here” featuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and “So Many Summers” plus the newly released title track “Son Of The Mountains” and “The Medicine Will.” The full studio album is anticipated for release in early 2024.
Each of the new songs released, “Son Of The Mountains” and “The Medicine Will,” are representations of the Appalachian region including Paisley’s home state of West Virginia, reflections of the beautiful and the painful. Brad has created poignant videos, directed by Jim Shea and edited by Brad himself, to encapsulate the sentiment of each song. “Son Of The Mountains” recording and video both feature Dan Tyminski and Jerry Douglas and include beautiful and colorful scenery of the state. “The Medicine Will” focuses on the opioid epidemic and was shot in black and white and in the depths of a coal mine featuring real stories of addicts, survivors and first responders.
As a proud West Virginian who was able to make a life for himself outside of the issues facing the people of his home state, Paisley is continually returning to use his platform to bring awareness not only to the opioid crisis but also to the hope that these people have.
Paisley recently returned to West Virginia to participate in the grand re-opening and dedication of Herbert Hoover High School in Elkview after the historic flood of 2016 that destroyed the school. The country star toured the school, participated in the dedication ribbon-cutting ceremony, attended the football scrimmage against his alma mater John Marshall High School, and performed after the game in the stadium’s end zone.
