Brad Paisley [ tickets ] serves up “Part II” this week, the country star’s aptly titled follow-up to his 1999 debut, “Who Needs Pictures.” The album features the country star’s latest single, “Two People Fell in Love,” which is the No. 12 track on trade publication Radio & Records’ latest country airplay chart.

A written commentary from Paisley about each of the 13 tracks on “Part II” is currently available at Arista Nashville’s Brad Paisley website.

Paisley is currently on tour as part of George Strait's country music festival, and is set to embark on an extensive headlining run of his own in mid-June.

Paisley’s “Who Needs Pictures” peaked at No. 13 on Billboard’s Country Album’s chart in 1999, and was certified platinum earlier this year.

Goo Goo Dolls [ tickets ]’ offer up “What I Learned About Ego, Opinion, Art & Commerce (1987-2001)” (Warner Bros.), a collection of 22 remixed and remastered tracks culled from the group’s six studio albums.

Fans will be able to use the CD version of the new album to access a special Internet site that features vintage video clips, photographs and unreleased versions of classic Goo Goo Dolls music, according to Warner Bros.

“Dizzy Up the Girl,” the Goo Goo Doll’s most recent studio effort, was released in 1998, and has been certified triple-platinum. The group plans to enter the studio this summer to record it’s next album, according to its official website.

Air, the French electronica act behind the score for last year’s film “The Virgin Suicides,” returns with this week’s “10,000Hz. Legend” (Astralwerks). The album features guest appearances from Beck--who contributes vocals to "The Vagabond" and spoken word poetry on "Don't Be Light"--and from Sugar and Yumiko of Buffalo Daughter on the song "Sex Born Poison.”

In June, Air--duo Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoit Dunckel--will embark on a U.S. tour.

Everything But the Girl returns this week with “Back to Mine” (Ultra), an album that doesn’t actually feature music performed by the group. Instead, “Back to Mine” is the sixth in a series of albums from U.K. dance label DMC that features DJ mixes of previously released works. The latest installment houses an hour of music by artists ranging from Slick Rick to Mary Margaret O'Hara, all compiled by guest DJs Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn--a.k.a. Everything But the Girl--and mixed by Watt.
