Brad Paisley is the reason one Nashville man is beginning 2021 on a positive note.
The singer was one of several country stars who sent condolences and messages of hope to Music City residents whose homes were ravaged by the Christmas Day bombing.
Local musician Buck McCoy was one of many downtown residents displaced by the blast. The entertainer also lost his cat Molly, but fortunately was reunited with her on New Year's Eve thanks to the help of local officers.
McCoy revealed in a new video shared by TMZ that Paisley was very supportive, going as far as gifting him a fancy new guitar autographed by the star himself.

"Oh my God, look at this! This is so gorgeous," McCoy says to the camera while unveiling his new instrument. "Wow, it's so light. I love it, man. Thank you so much, Brad. This is a dream come true. I really appreciate you sending me this guitar. I will treasure it forever."
The artist revealed Paisley's signature on the guitar along with a kind message that reads, "Buck, twang on pal. Glad you're still here - Brad."
