CMTT caught up with the very busy and always charming Brady Seals during CRS 2010. You probably know him best as part of Little Texas or Hot Apple Pie but if you listen to his solo projects you will find out quickly who the real Brady Seals is.
Brady tells CMTT why he considers his newest album one for adults ears only and talks about his current “The Play Time 2010 Tour”.

Brady Seals has “Been There, Drunk That!” Now that is a song I believe I can relate to as I’m sure many of you can as well – what a great fun song! It is a really fast rocking song that reflects Brady’s style of song. His songs are filled with tempo and words you will relate to upon hearing the very first one! He even does a mean country rap peppered throughout one of his new songs “Farm Boy”
Brady is not new to the music scene – he was the long-haired “Little Texas” heartthrob on keys. Even though he keyed through “God Blessed Texas” with the band, I think God blessed Ohio with Brady Seals but, even though he came from Ohio, he left at the age of 16 as a touring musician and went on to score three #1 hits with “Little Texas” by the time he was 21 which he’d co-written, winning him the ASCAP Triple Play award.
Brady continues to thrive on his own, reinventing himself throughout his career while always staying true to rock-edged country. He’s released three solo albums in the late 90’s and opened for Keith Urban and Tim McGraw.
Over the course of his career he studied under Rodney Crowell, James Stroud (Stroudavarious Records), and Stan Lynch (“Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers” drummer) who co-wrote and plays on “Trucker Song” on his new album, “Play Time”. “Play Time” also features the fun-named songs “Ho Down”, “Better Every Beer”, “Everyone Smokes in Hell” and other rockin’ songs that will warm your heart and put a smile on your face while your toes are tappin’!

TODAY!!!!!!!
Brad Paisley — American Saturday Night
Cledus T. Judd — Polyrically Uncorrect
Tanya Tucker — My Turn
Brad says that of all the songs on his new CD, “American Saturday Night,” he’s proudest of his new single, “Welcome to the Future” because he “got to say” what he wanted to say. It starts off with the changes he’s lived through in technology, starting with his beloved Pac Man. It moves to changes in communication and world politics from World War II to now. And, ends with the election of a black man as president. Brad says “this country has turned on a dime in a way” he says couldn’t have been foreseen a year ago. Paisley wonders if having a baby earlier this year added to the way he looks at life now. But, he says these are “bold new times that we’re living in” which are “hard to ignore.”

In other music news Country Music Tattle Tale wants to say congratulations to one of our favorite country music men. Dierks Bentley is celebrating having another No. 1 single! “Sideways” will take over the top spot on Billboard’s country singles chart later this week.” Since “Sideways” is a party-song, Dierks says he “can’t wait for the number-one party for this one.” He says he “always said that this song would sound best blasting through boat speakers.”

Here is all of the exciting news from country music to hit my inbox in the last few days:
Singer/songwriter Brady Seals returns to the country music forefront claiming the #1 radio download spot last week for his new single, the playful “Ho Down”. The one-time frontman for Little Texas and Hot Apple Pie prepares to release his new solo album, Play Time, on August 18 with a strong team in place and a busy CMA Music Fest schedule.
Look for Brady to ride in the 2009 Kick-Off Parade on Wednesday, June 10; sign in three booths: Digital Rodeo Booth #217 at 3 pm on Thursday, June 11; the Chevy Booth #517 at 1 pm and the GAC Booth #200 at 4 pm both on Saturday, June 13. Brady Seals will perform on the Hard Rock stage at 6 pm on Friday, June 12 and participate in the 2009 Ride for a Cure event on Sunday, June 14 which benefits the T.J. Martell Foundation.
Not all good things come to an end. The Judds, one of country music’s most awarded and beloved duos of our time, are the perfect example. Credited with “single-handedly saving country music” according to Time Magazine, Wynonna and Naomi Judd will pay homage to their fans and their illustrious career by transforming a vacant building – formerly occupied by Gray’s Drug Store at 332 Main St in historic downtown Franklin, Tennessee – into a museum highlighting the 25th Anniversary of their career in music.
Opening Thursday, June 11th, through Sunday, June 14th, the museum hours will coincide with the CMA Music Fest which officially kicks off tomorrow. The museum will be open from 9am – 6pm on June 11 – 13 and noon – 4pm on June 14. Wynonna and Naomi will make a special appearance together to sign autographs from 1 – 3pm on Saturday, June 13th. Wristbands will be issued June 11th and 12th to secure a position in the autograph line Saturday afternoon.
Love And Theft members Brian Bandas, Eric Gunderson and Stephen Barker Liles wrote or co-wrote all eleven songs on their debut album, World Wide Open. The project is co-produced by Robert Ellis Orrall and Jeff Coplan.
After opening shows for Taylor Swift in 2008, Love And Theft is currently on the road meeting country radio and promoting their debut single, “Runaway.” The band’s debut CD, World Wide Open, will release August 25th. To learn more about Love And Theft, visit www.myspace.com/loveandtheftmusic or follow the band on Twitter at www.twitter.com/lntweet.
