Brad Paisley released Tacklebox – Disc 1 on July 17, 2026, completing the first chapter of his Tacklebox project.
The 13-song digital release through MCA brings together music Paisley began rolling out in May, including previously unreleased material, newly recorded songs, and collaborations with Miranda Lambert and David Lee Murphy. The final three tracks, “Who Knew,” “Tell Them Your Life Story,” and “It’s Still Goodbye,” completed the project.
Paisley named the project Tacklebox because it is “full of hooks, country music hooks.”
Some of the songs come from Paisley’s extensive catalog of unreleased and unrecorded material dating back to the 1990s, when his career was first taking shape. Others were written more recently but inspired by the country music of that period.
The project draws heavily from the unmistakable ’90s sounds of Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn, and Alabama, along with ’80s-influenced production reminiscent of George Strait, Garth Brooks, and others.
Paisley also returned to a familiar recording space for part of the project, recording or re-recording material at The Castle in Franklin, Tennessee, the same studio where several of his early albums were made.
As the songs arrived over several months, Paisley approached the rollout differently from a traditional album release. Once all 13 tracks were available, the sequencing revealed how he envisioned Tacklebox – Disc 1 being heard as a complete project.
“In this digital age, I have every song I’ve ever written at my fingertips,” Brad said. “There was such freedom in rediscovering the songs for ‘Tacklebox,’ the new ones we wrote, and the order we released them. They came from or were written about a nostalgic time period, a style of writing, and a sound. We wanted to give listeners that special feeling of playing a vinyl album or CD all the way through, if you listened to it top to bottom.”
