Aldean Debuts Lead Single From Upcoming Album

Jason Aldean released the lead single “Take A Little Ride” from his upcoming fifth studio album today (7/16). The track is available for purchase at iTunes, and physical singles will hit Walmart shelves nationwide beginning Aug. 7.

The single about a carefree summer night spent driving down country roads with a summer love and a six-pack, was written by Dylan Altman, Rodney Clawson and Jim McCormick.

“I tried to find the best songs that I could and also ones that fit what I do in my live show,” said Aldean of the forthcoming album. “There’s a little bit of everything, including some more traditional country stuff and some songs that might raise a few eyebrows.”

Aldean’s new album, due out this fall, is the follow up to the double Platinum My Kinda Party, which spawned five consecutive No. 1s and won CMA and Billboard Album of the Year. His tour, which runs through October, has sold out every date so far this year, including its first stadium show in Columbus, OH.

Aldean celebrated over the weekend when tickets to his upcoming tour stops in Indianapolis, IN (9/15) sold over 24,000 tickets in two minutes and over 20,000 tickets in St. Louis (9/14) in just four minutes.
