Aldean scores another chart topper

Monday, July 18, 2011 – Jason Aldean scores his seventh number one song as Dirt Road Anthem reaches the top slot on the Billboard Country Songs chart this week. Aldean assumes the top spot from Justin Moore's If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away.

The third consecutive Platinum release off country's best-selling album of 2011, "My Kinda Party," the track also tops the Country Digital Singles Chart again this week with more than 1.3 million singles sold to date.

"We definitely knew when we recorded this song, we'd turn some heads. Thankfully, when they turned, they also started nodding along," joked Aldean. "It's been a great song to play live and also to be able to do some experimenting with for TV performances and things like that. I love being able to put out a big ballad like our duet with Kelly and come back with something a little different the next time. I don't want anyone to ever think they've got me figured out exactly."

Aldean's duet with pop singer Kelly Clarkson Don't You Wanna Stay continues to climb the AC, Hot AC and Top 40 charts. Both songs follow the success of the lead single and title track.

Aldean spent this past week in Phoenix at baseball's all star celebration, where he played in the celebrity and legends softball game and performed on ESPN's broadcast of the 2011 home run derby.

Aldean's My Kinda Party tour continues to crisscross the country selling out the nation's biggest amphitheaters with openers Chris Young and Thompson Square.

It is a more than a respectable length for a single album. The remainder of the effort is padded with live tracks. The obvious question is why so long? 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 ...
