The special was shot at a sold out arena show in Knoxville, Tenn. last month and in his hometown of Macon, Ga. Aldean will play Jimmy Kimmel Live's outdoor concert series on May 1. "I feel like with my first two albums, I was trying to dial in who I was as an artist and what my fans liked and expected to hear from me," said Aldean. "Four years into it, I think understand that now, and I'm really just starting to hit my stride. I'm excited to see what happens the next few weeks and months because I'm really proud of the new album."

Recorded with his touring band and produced by Michael Knox, "Wide Open" has a southern rock style. The disc contains the hit single She's Country.
