Play is an insightful, compelling and fantastically performed declaration of who Paisley is as an artist.

These ventures into pure '80s shred go a long way to illustrating just how versatile a guitarist Brad Paisley is, and they wind up as accidental autobiography, revealing a side he's previously camouflaged.

The guitar whiz cashes in his superstar chits for this largely instrumental album, an indulgence he's earned but doesn't quite pull off.

Brad Paisley writes interesting songs that play up his nice-guy persona and provide a suitable backdrop for his virtuosic guitar playing. Play finds this accomplished technician having a well-deserved lark.

Brad is such a strong presence on the six string that it makes sense he'd do a primarily guitar-focused album and his ability is impressive, but it isn't always the most interesting to listen to. Outside of Start a Band with Keith Urban where they take turns shredding while mixing in creative lyrics, it's a very forgettable album.
