Pardi seeks "Heartache Medication"
Monday, May 20, 2019 – Jon Pardi will release his third album, "Heartache Medication," on Sept. 28, he announced today.
Pardi, who has alternated between traditional country and rock, is in the traditional camp with fiddle kicking off the song. He wrote the song with Natalie Hemby and Barry Dean.
"The single 'Heartache Medication' has an '80s George Strait 'Fool Hearted Memory' feel to it, and is something people can dance to," Pardi said. "That's something I really wanted for this album. There really are no sad songs on this record. It covers a range of subjects, but is ultimately about moving on and having a good time."
Pardi's last album was "California Sunrise," which came out June 17, 2016.

These elements reveal how this track is a true country version. It's also executed well, which makes this old holiday warhorse of a song somehow sound fresh and new. It's one of 12 winners and proves once again what a gift Pardi is to us all.
The content is consistently secular, ...
Jon Pardi's "Mr. Saturday Night" sounds as though most of its stories take place on the weekend at an idealized country honky tonk. Many of these drinking holes also feature swinging doors and jukeboxes. They don't seem like citified bars, but they perfectly fit Pardi's enjoyable neo-traditional song cycle.
Although the drums pound much harder on the single "Last Night Lonely" than they do on truly traditional country music, Pardi incorporates far more fiddle ...
Jon Pardi may sing about heartache medication with this collection of songs, but his focus on arrangements filled with traditional musical elements (fiddle, steel guitar and twangy electric guitar) is joyfully medicinal for anyone sickened by so much mainstream country music that lacks many (if not all) of these essential country instruments.
These songs read as well as they sound, though. For example, the drinking song "Me and Jack" begins with a thumping, Johnny Cash-inspired country groove. ...
