Brad Paisley lives, breaths and eats Country Music for breakfast. Check out these ten facts below and learn what it takes to climb to the top of the Music Industries Ladder and what he has to go through.

Plus we have a few tid-bits here and there that show the true personality of this Country Hunk.

His dad goes everywhere with him.

Look at the picture at the top of this list. See that man next to Brad Paisley? That's Doug Paisley watching over his son's performance on ‘Good Morning America.' The elder Paisley can often be seen helping out backstage before, during and after his son's concerts.

He wanted to date Kimberly Williams, so he hired her.

OK, that sounds worse than it is. Williams starred in Paisley's 2002 video for ‘I'm Gonna Miss Her,' but the singer admits he hired her because he hoped she'd agree to go out with him. It was all a weird attempt to say “hi.” We just can't believe it worked! The two were married in a surprise ceremony in March 2003.

The Paisleys keep a messy bedroom.

In a 2004 column for Redbook, Kimberly Williams admitted she and her husband fight about who should make the bed. Recently, Paisley admitted that he won that fight. “Neither one of us makes the bed anymore,” he says. While he's a perfectionist onstage, the singer admits that he's prone to walking through the house in muddy boots or flopping on the couch to watch a NASCAR race. “Deep down, I'm just a West Virginia hillbilly,” he admits.

He uses his road band in the studio.

In an interview with Premiere Guitar, Paisley reveals that the band you see onstage is the band you hear on his albums. This is often unheard of in Nashville. More often record labels insist on using trained studio musicians who are proficient at playing the same lick or riff over and over again with proficiency.

He runs a very successful publishing company.

Early in his recording career Paisley founded Sea Gayle Music, a publishing company whose writers have since went on to pen dozens of the last decade's most popular songs by artists like Garth Brooks, Darius Rucker, Josh Turner and many more.

He doesn't drink.

Yep, the man who wrote and recorded one of the best drinking songs of all time doesn't imbibe. ‘Alcohol' is all about getting drunk and making a fool of one's self, but Paisley enjoys the hooch only as a spectator. One may find him with a Yoo-Hoo — one of his favorite beverages.

~*~ Question For Thought ~*~

If you were ‘discovered' to have a talent for Country Music and you where automatically casted as a big-time Country Music Star how would you feel about being on the road 24/7 and not having a lot of time for your family and friends… would the fame and cash flow be worth it?
