Track listing
Review - Product Description
Time Well Wasted reunites Brad with producer Frank Rogers for a 16-track collection sporting 10 selections from Paisley's pen, including first single, 'Alcohol', the fastest-rising chart single of his career. Look for multiple guest stars, including Dolly Parton (featured on 'When I Get Where I'm Going') and Paisley labelmate Alan Jackson, who duets on the Guy Clark/Darrell Scott gem, 'Out in the Parkin' Lot'. Arista. 2005.
Review - Amazon.com
Brad Paisley's previous release, Mud on the Tires, was the sort of landmark album nearly every artist has difficulty topping. Not so this time. On Time Well Wasted, Paisley's voice--never overwhelmed by overmixed instruments (a problem dogging many current vocalists)--remains keenly focused. There's quality material in abundance, heavy on originals and delightfully quirky bonus tracks. The album's first hit, Paisley's self-penned "Alcohol," has the potential to become a lasting anthem in a genre where booze songs long ago became an art form. Guy Clark's "Out in the Parkin' Lot," a duet with Alan Jackson, sounds more organic, less contrived than most Music Row pairings. The same applies to "When I Get Where I'm Going," a spiritual duet with Dolly Parton. As in the past, Paisley's country-jazz Telecaster prowess (phemonenal on the dazzling instrumental "Time Warp") remains remarkable, as does his insistence that his sidemen get ample space to shine. Such assets set Paisley apart, as does his ability to make real creativity commercially successful in a Nashville concerned mainly with the latter. --Rich Kienzle

- Not Enough Stars are Available!

Paisley has been turning out solid country tunes for albums now but he seems to have fleeting moments on radio sometimes. On this album, Paisley seems to be at his sharpest. He takes on fast tracks "Alcohol" & "You Need a Man Around Here" and lays on the humor and great song writing without killing traditonal country roots -- take a note Keith Urban.

There are the romance ballads such as "The World" & "Flowers" that I hope are hits on Radio and video format as well.

But there is a single song on here that is worth the purhcase alone. The heartbreaking ballad, "When I Get Where I'm Going" has to be one of the most beautiful songs of the last 20 years. If this song doesn't warm you up then there is no hope. It guests, Dolly Parton -- who has been turning out pure Bluegrass heaven on her last three discs. Their vocal harmonies and soaring melodies is a amazing. I can't recommend the disc enough.

Excellent.

- Now THIS is Country Music!

Brad Paisley does it again! This often overlooked country musician consistently puts out hit after hit and superb cd's and Time Well Wasted is no different. If you have yet to discover his talent then you are truly missing out.

What I enjoyed the most about this cd is it shows Paisley's maturity as an artist. Don't get me wrong, there is still plenty of his wry humor packed into the 16 tracks, but he has delivered on his promise to take the fans "somewhere different". While I thoroughly enjoyed "Out in the Parkin' Lot" with Alan Jackson, the duet with Dolly Parton on "When I Get to Where I'm Going" is one of the most poignant country songs I can remember. It would be an injustice if this song was not released to the general public, no offense Alan.

Duets aside, you can expect typical Brad toe-tappin' rhythm's and soaring guitar licks. If there is a musician that has come out in the last 20 years that is as talented as Brad with the guitar I throw down the challenge to show me.

I wish I could rate this cd 6 stars because it deserves it! 6 years ago the country torch was passed; not to Kenny, Keith or Toby, but to a talented singer, songwriter and musician from West Virginia. Brad, here's to this year being the year you get the recognition you deserve!

- Another Fantastic Brad CD

In England we don't hear too much country music but after hearing Alcohol I went out and bought all of his CD's. He is a supreme talent who has the ability to go from funny songs like You Need A Man Around Here to fantastic heart songs like Rainin' You and When I Get WherE I'm Going.

This is a must buy for any Country fan!!!!!

- Keep it coming

I don't know how, but Brad Paisley has topped himself. I enjoyed Mud on the Tires, but Time Well Wasted is better again. He is so versatile - "Alcohol", "You Need a Man Around Here" and "I'll Take You Back" are all really clever lyric-wise and "She's Everything" is touching. I like the simplicity of "Rainin' You" and the instrumental "Time Warp". He also calls on some friends, he and Alan Jackson light up on "Out in the Parking Lot" but "When I Get Where I'm Going" with Dolly Parton will give you chills.

There is not a weak song in the bunch and this CD is bound to be on everyone's Best of 2005 lists.

- Best Country Album of the Year. (No Doubt)

I aint gonna write a big huge review telling people how great this album is, I'm just gonna say go buy it if you don't have it. From the first song on it is simple greatness. One of the best country albums ever made. (But what do I know, I'm only 19 and listen to everything from Brad Paisley to Shinedown to 50 Cent, so what do I know.) BUY IT!!!!
