Aldean sings a Dirt Road Anthem

Wednesday, March 30, 2011 – Jason Aldean will release Dirt Road Anthem as the third single off "My Kinda Party."

Aldean will perform the song Sunday, April 3 on the 46th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards on CBS. The song, which can be streamed, hits radio on April 4.

"I always get excited to test new songs out on the road," said Aldean. "This one is a little different because it kicks off with the chorus, so everyone starts sorta grooving along with it...and then we hit that first verse with the rapid fire lyrics, and the fans go nuts. I know we're pushing some boundaries with a song like this, but I also think people expect that from me now. I'm really taking the fans' lead on this one, but I think it's going to be a killer single for us on the road this summer."

The CD has spawned the three week number one hit Don't You Wanna Stay with Kelly Clarkson, and its title track took the top spot on the Mediabase country singles chart in December.

Following the ACM Awards, Aldean will pick his My Kinda Party tour back up for 38 more dates through August.

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 ...
