In March 2011, during the performance of "Try a Little Kindness" at the Points of Light Tribute in Washington, D.C., Brad Paisley was riding a wave of success following the release of his album "This Is Country Music," which came out just days prior on May 23, 2011. This album showcased his ability to blend traditional country sounds with contemporary influences, featuring themes of kindness and community—echoed in the song he performed at the tribute.
