There's no question Brad Paisley is a good guy, right?  And no question he loves Alabama, what with his latest smash hit with the guys, "Old Alabama."   But now the superstar is taking the love beyond the band to the state itself.   He's going to donate all artist royalties of digital single sales in the U-S from the song to tornado relief thru the American Red Cross after last week's devastating storms. Brad tells People Magazine when he wrote the song, he had no idea the impact it would have, "When I first started playing music, if you didn't cover an Alabama song in your set, you might as well go home." 
After Brad and Alabama performed the song at the Grand Ole Opry Tuesday night, he and lead singer Randy Owen talked about the storms,  "We spent more than 12 hours in the basement," Randy said,  and that's when Brad decided to help.  Read all about it here.   Brad's album "This is Country Music" is due out May 23rd.  He'll be performing at Riverbend Music Center June 16th.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L683StD7jMY
