Brad Paisley's New Video 'Waitin' On A Woman,' Debuts With Guest Star Andy Griffith

Nashville, TN. (Top40 Charts/ Arista Records) - Reigning CMA Male Vocalist of the Year and two-time ACM Top Male Vocalist Brad Paisley is fast climbing the country airplay charts with his new single, 'Waitin' on a Woman,' already inside the Top 30 in only its second chart week after its official airplay impact date. And this week also marks the CMT and GAC debuts of the song's beautifully sentimental music video, with special guest star, Andy Griffith.

Paisley has long been known for his award-winning music videos, including the most recent ACM and CMA Video of the Year winner, 'Online,' but working with Griffith was truly a dream come true. 'It's one of the things I've had on my wish list of things to do,' Paisley remarked. 'He has influenced my life more than most people that I grew up with - more than most people that I actually knew my whole life. I wrote Andy a letter telling him what he has meant to me over the years and asked him to be in the video.'

And the role Griffith was asked to portray - that of a kindly older gentleman imparting wisdom to Paisley 's character - was 'Taylor-made' for the man who for so many years brought to life the folksy warmth and good-hearted values of The Andy Griffith Show's Sheriff Andy Taylor.

The video tells the story of a lifelong love between Griffith 's character and his wife - and while she would often keep him waiting on one occasion or another - their enduring love meant that the waiting was never a chore. Paisley says, 'Andy heard the song and wanted to commit to working the long hours necessary to get the video right, and he really adopted this music video as if it was his own.'

'Waitin' on a Woman' is airing now on CMT and GAC, where it debuted into both networks' top rotations on Monday.

Fans can also see the video online at bradpaisley.com, while the song can be found on new pressings of Paisley's latest million-seller, 5th Gear, which includes the No 1 singles, 'Letter to Me,' 'Online,' 'Ticks,' and 'I'm Still a Guy.'
