Jason Aldean very recently released his 10th studio album Macon just last month, and he already plans to release an accompanying record Georgia this coming spring.
To get fans excited about the new record, Aldean took to Instagram to preview one of the most personal tracks to be featured on Georgia.
“My parents got divorced when I was three. [My mother, Debbie,] was very instrumental in raising me, and I was her only child. Everything she did sort of revolved around me and what I was doing, whether that be music or playing baseball or anything I was in at the time,” the country star explained. “I remember collecting baseball cards, and she would take me to these baseball card shows, and she would sit there with me for hours while I would wait for guys to get their autographs or whatever.”
Aldean’s double-album project of Macon and Georgia features 10 new tracks and five live cuts each, the two halves combining as a 30-track collection that’s scheduled to additionally be available as a triple disk vinyl set.
“Where you were raised has such a big influence on who you become, and for me, it’s no different…especially from a music standpoint. My little hometown of Macon was heavily instrumental in my musical background,” Aldean elaborated on the inspiration for the project in a press statement back in September when the albums were initially announced.
“Growing up in an environment that was a crossroads between Country music, Southern rock, blues, and R&B, it was just natural to blend different sounds in my own way.”
