youtu.be/RQ3bn7V0zdU For Debbie Lynn Allen 2007–2008: 5th Gear[edit] Paisleys fifth studio album, 5th Gear, was released in the United States on June 19, 2007. The first four singles from the album, Ticks, Online, Letter to Me, and Im Still a Guy, all reached number one on the country music single charts, making seven straight number one hits for Paisley. Online featured the Brentwood High School marching band playing toward the end of the song, a cameo by Jason Alexander, and again featured a cameo by William Shatner. Throttleneck would also reach number one, which would get Paisley his first Grammy. The fifth single from 5th Gear actually came from a reissued version of the album – a new recording of Waitin on a Woman, a track cut from Time Well Wasted. The reissued version received unsolicited airplay in late 2006, and features less prominent string guitar and violin parts and a more muted musical tone. For the chart week of September 20, 2008, the song became Paisleys twelfth number-one single and his eighth straight number-one hit, making him the artist with the most consecutive Number One country hits since the inception of Nielsen SoundScan in 1990.[16] In July 2006, Brad was tapped for a television appearance as an animated character in The Wonder Pets, Daddy Armadillo. The yet-to-be-broadcast episode features Brads wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, as Mama Armadillo.[citation needed] Paisley toured April 26, 2007, through February 24, 2008 in support of 5th Gear on the Bonfires & Amplifiers Tour. The tour visited 94 cities over a 10-month period and played for over 1,000,000 fans. The tour was so successful that it was extended past its original end date to February 2008. Some of the opening acts who appeared during the tour were Taylor Swift, Kellie Pickler, Jack Ingram, Rodney Atkins and Chuck Wicks. Paisley was nominated for three 2008 Grammy Awards related to 5th Gear: Best Country Album (for 5th Gear), Best Country Collaboration (for Oh Love with Carrie Underwood), and Best Country Instrumental (for Throttleneck). On February 10, 2008, he won his first Grammy award for Best Country Instrumental for Throttleneck. In March 2008, Brad Paisley announced his next tour, The Paisley Party, a 42-date tour sponsored by Hersheys. The tour kicked off on June 11, 2008, in Albuquerque, New Mexico with Wicks, Julianne Hough and Jewel as the opening acts
