Rearview Town is Aldean’s eighth studio album, due April 13th
On the heels of announcing his massive High Noon Neon Tour, two-time and reigning ACM Entertainer Of The Year Jason Aldean now reveals he’s also readying new music. Rearview Town, his eighth studio album, will be out on April 13th via Broken Bow Records, and fans are getting a first-listen of new music today (Fri, Jan 26th) with the release of its lead single “You Make It Easy”. Aldean’s raw vocal fronts the tender, blues-lined track that is now available at country radio, with all digital partners and the full album can be pre-ordered digitally. Next week, Aldean will head to the East Coast to debut “You Make It Easy” live on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday (Jan 29th) on NBC and TODAY on Tuesday (Jan 30th) during the 8 am hour on NBC.
“Growing up in Macon, Georgia, I had a chance to learn about so many different styles of music,” Aldean explains. “Looking back on first playing in bands as a teenager, I was just soaking everything up. A lot of that comes out on this record…where I’ve been, and who I am now.”
The new single finds Aldean heading for the well-worn sounds of hometown heroes Otis Redding and the Allman Brothers Band, kicking off the album’s fiercely confident set that catapults between traditional country grooves, stadium-sized rock riffs and rap-style boom-thwacks, certain to add fire to a career that’s already witnessed 19 chart-topping hits.
Aldean has always been akin to his fans and his new album Rearview Town is full of vignettes of life laid over electrifying rock n’ roll and country sounds, building upon that history. The upcoming album follows his last three albums that each bowed at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 albums chart and all seven of his previous LPs have achieved Platinum certification or better, tallying more than 15 million total album sales and 19 No. 1 hits.
