Part II (Brad Paisley album)

Part II is the second studio album by American country music artist Brad Paisley.

Disappointed, Paisley channeled his feelings by writing a song with his best friend and frequent songwriting partner, Kelley Lovelace.

This event was revisited on Paisley's 2009 album, American Saturday Night during a reprise of the song, "Welcome to the Future".

The album includes a cover of Darrell Scott's bluegrass standard "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive", which Paisley chose to record because, being a native of West Virginia, he had seen the effect that coal mining had on communities in that region.

[8] Part II is a neotraditional country and honky-tonk album with elements of gospel ("The Old Rugged Cross"), the Bakersfield sound, folk ("You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive"), and jazz ("You Have That Effect on Me").
