His 2014 album Strong Feelings featured guest appearances by Mary Margaret O'Hara and Garth Hudson. It received positive reviews from Rolling Stone[8] and Pitchfork.[9]

In 2018 Paisley released the album Starter Home, which the New Yorker praised for its "enriching" songwriting.[9] Paisley's also contributed the song "Transient" to the compilation album The Al Purdy Songbook.[10]

In November 2022, Paisley announced his forthcoming album, Say What You Like, which was released March 17, 2023 to positive reviews in Pitchfork, and elsewhere.[11]
