11 Questions With Brad Paisley: No. 2

Who has influenced you most in your life?

It's a toss up between my father and my grandfather. I would say probably my grandfather. My dad did nothing to help me play the guitar, so he edges him out there [laughs]. My grandfather said, 'I want him to play the guitar. I'm going to get him a guitar.' If that didn't influence my life, I don't know what did.
