Kimmel welcomes "Country Boy" Lewis
Lewis, who is releasing the disc through Stroudavarious Records, will appear the previous day on the nationally syndicated radio show "Rockline."
In its first week, the song sold more than 20,000 digital singles and has sold more than 182,000 copies (more than 21,000 last week alone, outselling the top 5 most-played songs at rock radio combined).
The CD was produced by James Stroud and Lewis. With Staind, he released the most-played rock song of the decade, It's Been Awhile, sold 13 million albums worldwide and had four consecutive top 3 debuts on the Billboard 200.
On the new CD, Lewis includes a new version of Tangle Up in You, a ballad from Staind's sixth disc, "The Illusion of Progress." "The song was already a little bit country in term of its flavor with the slide guitar and the pedal steel," Lewis said. "We brought it further down that road."

CD reviews for Aaron Lewis
Aaron Lewis' "Frayed At Both Ends" features the singer/songwriter's profanity-laced political diatribe, "Am I The Only One." If you're not on Lewis' (conservative) side of the political spectrum, you may steer clear of Lewis' album. This would be understandable. Many don't appreciate politics mixed in with their music. However, Lewis – who began his career as the vocalist in the grunge band Staind – has become quite an effective country ...
When you tune into rocker turned country singer Aaron Lewis' fourth solo outing, "State I'm In," you'll find yourself excited about the potential state of country music with artists like Lewis still standing guard. Writing with an unapologetic hand and an honest, earnest love for the sounds of classic country he was weaned on, Lewis' music here steps forth with powerful emotion, great musicianship, and you can dance to it too.

You hear all the time these days how politicians are 'evolving' on particular issues. They may have felt one way about a topic many years ago, but - nearly miraculously - they've since evolved.
