Brad Paisley always had a strong moral code. When he was just a boy of eight, he sang in hospices to help people recover, and now that he is older, he runs a grocery store with his wife where they provide free food for the needy.
Brad Paisley had his first taste of fame as a child of eight when he became famous in Glendale, West Virginia. It all started one day at his hometown Methodist Church when he performed a rendition of “Life’s Railway To Heaven” one Sunday.
News of his talent quickly spread after that, and soon, he was the most talked about eight-year-old in the neighborhood. In the following years, he received invitations from different parts of the town, including community groups, nursing homes, and even hospitals.
One day, he visited a hospital where one elderly woman who only ever responded with an “OK” used to stay. One staff member from the hospital told Paisley what the lady’s favorite song was, and after he started playing and singing the song, there was an instantaneous change in the woman.
Up until then, she would only say “OK” to every question she was asked. But when Paisley sang, she joined him in singing the song softly. She sang every word, and at that moment, Paisley realized how powerful music could be when it came to healing.
Paisley continued to sing after that, using the guitar his grandfather got him, his first, and not long after, he started opening for country singers like Charlie Daniels, Roy Clark, and Ricky Skaggs at the Wheeling Jamboree.
