On a rare day off, Brad Paisley is at home outside of Nashville doing what he thinks every world-famous, multi-platinum-selling country star ought to do: the chores.

		Brad Paisley with Sara Evans and Andy Griggs Where: WesBanco Arena, Wheeling, W.Va. When: 7:30 p.m. Saturday Tickets: Sold out Brad Paisley also performs at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 26 at the Johnstown War Memorial. Call 412-323-1919 for tickets.

On the morning after flying in from Los Angeles, where the 32-year-old is recording a follow-up to his hit album "Mud on the Tires" -- and a day before preparing for his upcoming Mud & Suds tour with Sara Evans -- Paisley is cleaning the house. He takes a break to talk on the phone about his career. In the background, his TV and film star wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, shouts from the other room, asking him to move her truck out of the driveway. Oh, the lifestyles of the rich and famous.

"Sorry about that," he says, sheepishly, finishing the call on a cell phone as he hops into the truck. "You gotta do, you know, what you gotta do."

Certainly, if you're a country star, you "gotta" have hit records, and high-grossing tours and become the darling of the Grand Ole Opry. And maybe, now and then, you "gotta" do some public relations.

But Paisley exceeds those expectations by leveraging his celebrity to help the folks in his hometown of Glen Dale, a sleepy post-industrial Ohio River community in the West Virginia panhandle. In addition to assisting several national charities, his nonprofit Brad Paisley Foundation is intent on helping West Virginians. A month ago, after getting a letter from a kid who said there's no place to skateboard in the mountain state, Paisley orchestrated the construction of a 20,000-square-foot skatepark in Wheeling. Shortly after September flooding turned parts of Wheeling and Glen Dale into a swamp, Paisley interrupted his tour to play a fund-raiser for Ohio Valley flood victims. Tomorrow, he's back in Wheeling with another sold-out benefit, which he calls Mud Stock in the Valley. Opening acts Evans and Andy Griggs are donating their performances, too. Paisley is boosting the collection by taping public service radio requests for donations and auctioning off tickets to the show, autographed CDs and a book about the flood. Proceeds from the auctions will be donated to the Northern Panhandle Long-Term Flood Recovery Committee through the Brad Paisley Foundation.

"[The flooding] keeps happening, as this week is proof of," he says, backing up the truck. "I'm from there and I care a lot about the Ohio Valley. My dad sent a picture of my old high school football stadium under water. I can't remember the river ever being that high. Somebody moves away and does well and has the ability to raise a little money to help out, well, it seems that they probably ought to."

Raised to take responsibility seriously, Paisley sees his professional commitments in the same light. In a business teaming with celebrities who do little more than sing other people's songs on their CDs, Paisley writes most of his material and is a world-class rhythm and lead guitarist both live and in the studio. It's an additional responsibility, he admits, but Paisley says he owes it to the people who buy his albums.

"It's definitely daunting sometimes to go in and cut these records, doing all that I do on them," he says. "But when they're buying one of my albums, people know that they're getting something from me personally. I had a hand in most of it: writing or at least being heavily involved in picking the songs, singing them, playing the guitar parts. It just makes it more personal. It's not being a control freak; it's just, you know, I feel a responsibility to give them a little more of me."

It's daunting, too, to follow an album as successful as "Mud on the Tires," which was recently certified double-platinum. In all, Paisley's three CDs have sold more than 5 million copies. He's been awarded five CMA awards and is nominated for a Grammy for Best Country Instrumental Performance for his work with Albert Lee and Vince Gill on the song "Luxury Liner." And Paisley recently signed a movie deal to turn his song about an adoptive father, "He Didn't Have to Be," co-written by Kelley Lovelace, into a TBS movie.

But after mocking celebrity life in his hit single "Celebrity," Paisley has bigger fish to fry than managing his skyrocketing career. He has to park his wife's truck and take out the trash.
