Critic Reviews
Show All-
Consequence of sound
The pattern is holding steady on American Saturday Night, and Paisley’s songs and blues guitar begin to give that feeling of being at a Blue Angels Air Show — it’s on point for breathtaking standard maneuvers.
-
Slant Magazine
What does work about the song is its energy and optimism and, moreover, how Paisley carries that tone throughout much of the album. Paisley is too savvy to record an explicit political treatise.
-
Pop Matters
Above all, American Saturday Night has the capacity to surprise, a rare quality in country or any genre.
-
Washington Post
Now add to that list Brad Paisley, whose superb new album, "American Saturday Night," celebrates cultural diversity, lionizes women, stirringly welcomes a black president and, for good measure, whoops it up about drinkin' and fishin'.
-
Plugged In
Paisley's tunes are toe-tappingly infectious, and his lyrics—especially those praising parenthood—are trending toward a more mature sensibility in comparison to previous efforts.
-
All Music
On the whole, American Saturday Night is one of his dreamier albums, filled with swaying slow dances, sweet love tunes, and the occasional brokenhearted blues, all delivered with a worn-in ease.
-
Billboard
The country artist does it again with this engaging third single and title track from his chart-topping "American Saturday Night" album.
-
My Kind of Country
He sings from a unique perspective with his own sound that sets him apart from the lesser artists on radio. Even if you think you won’t like it, please give this album a try: it’s worth it.
-
Country Universe
While there’s still straight up fun to be had on American Saturday Night, it displays a maturity that does not necessarily exist on his prior albums. Additionally, the project consists of crisp and muscular production that still manages to demonstrate that Paisley is not ashamed to prominently feature traditional instrumentation.

Little Rebellion Music Magazine
Brad Paisley has grown as a lyricist, vocalist and guitarist, and has just delivered his best album to date.
