Aldean breaks more records

Monday, March 26, 2012 – Jason Aldean broke venue attendance records at New York metro area's IZOD Center and Charlottesville, Va.'s John Paul Jones Arena this weekend, marking his 13th venue attendance record set in 2012.

Aldean's 2012 My Kinda Party Tour has sold out all 18 shows so far this year, including Rodeo Houston at Reliant Stadium where he set the all-time record with 74,901 fans and the IZOD Center in Newark, N.J. where he set a new record for a country concert with more than 19,000 fans, breaking Shania Twain's previous record of 15,749 in 2003.

This year's production was upped to a 360-degree configuration to give more fans the opportunity to purchase tickets. Fellow Georgia natives Luke Bryan and Lauren Alaina have both opened for Aldean this year, with DeeJay Silver returning to the tour to keep the party going between sets.

"These last few months on the road have been unbelievable, and the crowds this weekend were killer," said Aldean. "We are off to Vegas next for the ACMs and will hopefully have a little luck on and off the blackjack tables."

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 ...
