June 10, 2008 — Brad Paisley has launched four No. 1 singles from his current 5th Gear album, which creates plenty of anticipation for the fifth release. Except Brad is throwing a bit of a monkey wrench into the works.

Brad’s actually dipping back to his previous album, Time Well Wasted, for the next single, the sentimental "Waitin’ On A Woman." The song was released to radio stations yesterday, and a video is forthcoming later this month with an appearance by Andy Griffith.

"One of the greatest moments in my career was getting to shoot this video with Andy Griffith and getting to know him," Brad says. "I’ll cherish this video and opportunity to become friends with this wonderful and influential man for the rest of my life. ‘Waitin’ On A Woman’ is one of the most important songs I’ve recorded; it’s a masterpiece written by Wynn Varble and Don Sampson, and the video demanded excellence and art to match the composition. Andy was my No. 1 choice for the video — he is the perfect person that embodies [the] wisdom, years and personality of the character in the video."

Brad knows a little something about videos: Just last month, he won the Academy of Country Music’s Video of the Year honor for "Online," directed by Jason Alexander. "Waitin’ On A Woman" will be added to future pressings of Brad’s 5th Gear album.
