Aldean raises $575K for cancer fight
Monday, October 28, 2013 – Jason Aldean raised more than $575,000 at his eighth annual benefit "Concert for the Cure" show in New Orleans for the fight against breast cancer.
A sold-out crowd at the New Orleans Arena filled the room with pink in support of the cause, and Aldean presented a check to the local Susan G. Komen Affiliate. All funds will directly support Komen New Orleans grants for breast cancer screening, treatment and education programs.
"New Orleans needs this money as badly as anyone right now," said Aldean from the stage. "I can't tell you how happy I am to give them this check. Like pretty much everyone I know, I've lost someone I love to breast cancer, and I don't want anyone else to have to go through that. For all you ladies out there - we love the rack...save 'em, alright!"

CD reviews for Jason Aldean
Jason Aldean's 10th studio album "Georgia "initially seems like yeoman's effort. As the second half of a double album that follows last year's "Macon," the collection boasts 30 songs; 20 are new. 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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
