WHO NEEDS PICTURES, from 1999, is a strong set of traditionalist country that includes both a heartfelt rendition of the gospel favorite "In the Garden" and the wry "Long Sermon," a comic riff on the dangers of a longwinded preacher mixing with a lovely summer Sunday. PART II, from 2001, is even better. Largely written by Paisley, with a spooky take on Darrell Scott's "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" and a live recording of "That Old Rugged Cross" from the Grand Ol' Opry being the two ringers, PART II is a crisp, unfussy take on old-fashioned traditionalist country.
