Jason Aldean Returns ‘Old Boots, New Dirt’ To Spotify

Jason Aldean’s Old Boots, New Dirt is back on Spotify, nearly a year after it was pulled from the streaming service.

Although the project did appear on Spotify when it was released in October 2014, Aldean and Broken Bow Records decided to take it down after about a month, feeling that the streaming service did not provide enough compensation for publishers, songwriters and other members of the music industry. At the time, Aldean said he wanted to make sure that the creative community would be paid fairly for their work.

However, this week on his Facebook page, he posted the following message:

Everyone in the music business is trying to figure out how to make the streaming work financially, so that the creative community gets paid fairly. I’m happy to have been part of that dialog and will continue to be as it all unfolds.

I’ve heard from you, the fans, all summer on the road and online that you really miss being able to stream my music. I definitely want you to be able to find it easily, so we’ve decided to make it available again. – JA

Hits from the album include “Burnin’ It Down,” “Just Gettin’ Started,” “Tonight Looks Good on You” and “Gonna Know We Were Here.”
