Country music singer/songwriter Jason Aldean released his newest album, My Kinda Party, on November 2. Aldean is one of the latest of a new kind of country artist that infuses the driving rock sound with a pure country voice. This album is a testament to that style of country music, and it solidifies Aldean's position as one of the big-time artists in contemporary country.
He has recorded four albums on the independent Broken Bow Records label: Jason Aldean (2005), Relentless (2007), Wide Open (2009), and My Kinda Party (2010).
These albums have accounted for eleven singles on the Billboard country singles charts, including number one hits "Why," "She's Country," "Big Green Tractor," and "The Truth." "Crazy Town" is the most recent and fourth single from the album, which peaked at #2.
With songs like "Tattoos on this Town," "Just Passing Through," "Texas Was You," and the title track "My Kinda Party," Aldean does more than enough to ensure his place in the hearts of his fans as a great country artist. However, he also shows his versatility by doing something different in his rendition of Colt Ford's "Dirt Road Anthem." In this song, Aldean continues his slow and steady but energetic country rock while also rapping several lyrics of the song. This deviation from his usual style offers a new kind of voice to his country mode of performance, and further enhances his talent as a musician and performer.
With the release of this album, Aldean rises to the upper echelon of recent country stars taking the increasingly popular country music industry by storm such as Darius Rucker, Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, and Luke Bryan. With Aldean's recent performance at the New England Country Music Festival in August, it is clear that a large majority of people in the northeast have proclaimed country to be the number one genre of this region. If anymore artists come about and continue to entertain just like Jason Aldean, country is sure to take down any competition.
