Aldean says his hit song expressed how he ‘felt about the state of things right now’
Country music star Jason Aldean joined “FOX & Friends” exclusively to discuss the release of his upcoming album “Highway Desperado” and the controversy around the hit song “Try That In A Small Town.”
The 11th studio album comes out Nov. 3 and features songs like “Try That In A Small Town,” “Tough Crowd,” and “Let Your Boys Be Country.”In the interview airing Friday, Aldean said the album’s name came from traveling across the country throughout his music career and living life on the road.
“I just think for all of my adult life, pretty much and really since I’ve been 18 years old, you know, I’ve been traveling around the country and the world now playing music. And that’s kind of what it feels like. It’s like always on the run, living on the road,” he said. “I will say it’s one of the coolest things we’ve done, top to bottom song-wise, I think it’s one of the best albums we’ve done.”
