Aldean plays the "Highway Desperado"
Aldean has been embroiled in controversy recently for his radio hit "Try That In A Small Town" with some saying that a video for the song was racist.
Aldean said the inspiration for the album's title came from his latest sold-out headlining arena tour, as well as his early days as an artist. "I think when I look back on it, I built my career early on my live show, and have been on the road touring since I was 18 years old. For us, touring is our favorite part. Getting on the bus and going town to town and playing our shows and doing our thing and seeing the fans... the title for the tour and album was really inspired from that."
The disc, produced by Aldean's long-time producer Michael Knox, contains 14 songs, "Try That In A Small Town." The release also contains the new track "Let Your Boys Be Country," as well as three tracks co-written by Aldean. He first introduced music from the release in May with the release of the fan-appreciation anthem, "Tough Crowd," at this year's ACM Awards.
Released today as another preview of new music to come, "Let Your Boys Be Country" was written by Jaron Boyer, Allison Veltz Cruz, and Micah Wilshire.
The album marks the first new music since Aldean's 10th studio project, the double album "Macon, Georgia."

CD reviews for Jason Aldean
Hollywood may be pushing a broadminded agenda where there are more genders than one can even count, but in Jason Aldean's world, there are only two: tough guys, and the women that love them. There's no confusion it's a guy in the "Camouflage Hat," for example. Also, nothing is said or done without also washing it down with alcohol. The opener,"Tattoos and Tequila," breaks it down into tattoos to remember, and tequila to forget.

If you liked Jason Aldean's three previous number one albums, you'll like "Rearview Town." He sticks to the winning formula that has brought him past success. The 15 tracks are mainly juiced up, muscular numbers with scorching guitar. Ironically, amid the torrid tempos and high volume that dominate the collection, the ballads are the standouts, especially with the duet with the Miranda Lambert on "Drowns The Whiskey." Instead of whiskey drowning a memory, the inverse ...
