Aldean readies third CD

Friday, January 23, 2009 – Jason Aldean will see if the hits keep on coming when he releases his third disc, "Wide Open," April 7 on Broken Bow.

The 10-song disc includes material from Neil Thrasher, Wendell Mobley and Brett James. Michael Knox produced, and Aldean's touring band participated in the studio recordings.

"Wide Open is the only way I know how to live. When it came time to give this album a title, that track just summed it all up...it describes my personality and attitude 100 percent," said Aldean. "Me and the guys in the band went into the studio and recorded these songs live, and tried to picture ourselves playing them in an arena down the road somewhere. I think you can definitely feel that energy. "

She's Country is the first single off the forthcoming CD and now the fastest rising single of his career to date. "When we got in the studio and played it for the first time, it flew out of the speakers," Aldean said. Written as a southern shout-out to all the country girls, the song champions the big guitars and solid backbeat that form the nucleus of Aldean's sound.

Aldean will open dates for Toby Keith and Keith Urban in the coming months.

In Adean's case, he said he has always leaned toward having more songs than less. Upon a sit down listen you get ...

CD review - 9 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. Within its booze for every ...
CD review - Rearview Town 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 ...
