Brad Paisley in Hot Water With Record Label For Leaking ‘Moonshine In The Trunk’ Album
Brad Paisley has some 'splaining to do today after leaking his 'Moonshine In The Trunk' album without his record label's approval. From the looks of Paisley's emails and texts, they were NOT happy.

As Paisley kept re-posting the music, his phone was blowing up with messages from management.

When Paisley realized he couldn't do anymore, he tried something else.
Not having any luck uploading another song tonight. I've got another idea...hang on

His idea was to have his fellow 'Rising Star' judge Ludacris tweet the preview.
I'd love to post another clip of music, but they're watching me like a hawk but I'll bet they're not watching @ludacris ...

Ludacris to the rescue

Paisley wouldn't be stopped but today could be an intense meeting at his label.
Someone at the label is having to work late sunday night because of me...Sorry guys! pic.twitter.com/uNgyIOw82s

Was this was a perfectly time publicity stunt to promote both 'Rising Star' and Paisley's new album, or did Paisley's label really not know what was going o? Either way, it worked beautifully.
If it was only planned by Paisley, lets hope he only gets a slap on the wrist today when he has to answer to the powers that be.
