ARTIST BACKGROUND

About Jason Aldean

Jason Aldean is a country singer from Macon, Georgia, whose recordings combine prominent rock guitars with country melodies and touches of hip-hop rhythm. His long working relationship with producer Michael Knox continued on his eighth studio album, Rearview Town. That record includes You Make It Easy and places quieter country settings beside songs designed for large concert spaces. The range reflects a recording and performing style that moves between intimate vocal material and the guitar-driven scale of his stadium shows.

About this artist collection

The direct Jason Aldean identity is retained. Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood remain co-leads on their duets, and Miranda Lambert retains her featured credit. The selected Dirt Road Anthem is the original solo recording, not the subsequent Ludacris remix.

First released means the earliest documented official public release of the selected recording. A year-only date does not assert a month or day. Later singles, chart years, compilations, remasters and reissues do not replace that date.
