Superstar Brad Paisley has delivered one of the year's hottest country tours with his "H2O" World Tour, and Paisley's live chops will be on display as performances from the tour come together with hit studio favorites for the November 2 release of the double-disc Hits Alive.
In live or studio versions, the collection includes 15 of Paisley's 17 #1 songs and four that hit the Top Five, plus the instrumental "Time Warp" and his current single, "Anything Like Me."
Let me break the math down for you. Hits Alive features 21 individual songs and they are spread over two discs that contain 24 total tracks, some presented both in live and studio versions. Disc One features 13 studio hits plus a new take on Paisley's "Online" – blending studio and live renditions in what can only be described as a true mash up. Disc Two includes previously unreleased live versions of ten favorites, plus the closing "Online (Reprise)."
