Pardi becomes "Mr. Saturday Night"
The 14-song collection will feature his single "Last Night Lonely," latest release "Fill 'Er Up" and 12 more new tracks.
"A lot of time was spent living with the songs on this record," said Pardi. "There is more life experience on 'Mr. Saturday Night' than any album I've released before. I chose 'Mr. Saturday Night' as the title track because it's special to me. I've been hanging onto it for three years and can't wait for people to hear it, and the rest of these songs."
"Mr. Saturday Night" is produced by Bart Butler, Ryan Gore and Pardi, the same team behind the boards of his third studio release "Heartache Medication."
Pardi kicks off the Ain't Always the Cowboy Tour on July 14 in Irving, Texas. Along with Lainey Wilson and Hailey Whitters, he will hit Las Vegas, Boston and New York, wrapping with an Oct. 1 show at Nashville's Ascend Amphitheater.

CD reviews for Jon Pardi
You know from the first notes of Jon Pardi's "All I Want For Christmas" that this is going to be good album as it starts off with a steel guitar intro. Later, there is also a twin fiddle solo. 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. ...
