As news of Jason Aldean coming back to Country Concert 2013 on July 11th breaks, the Georgia singer celebrates the release of his fifth album today, Night Train.    It has 15 new songs, including the smash hit "Take a Little Ride.”   Jason sat down with Country Countdown USA to give a behind the scenes look at the CD.     He joked about the single, “The Only Way I Know,” featuring Luke Bryan and Eric Church: "I’m just trying to cash in off their success. No I’m kidding. Luke & I talked a lot about working together, he & I are close, Eric was out with me last year, and they’re having monster years. Originally I thought it would be cool for Luke & me to do, and then the more I listened to it, the more I thought we could bring someone else in on it, and Eric fit the bill. I think to have the three of us on a song would be a stand-out for the album. It’s something you don’t get on an album every day: Three guys who are kinda at the top of their game."   

When asked how he came up with the album's title, Jason says it was a no brainer.  "For me I stand backstage and see all the chaos, and it wasn’t that long ago when it was just me & my boys in a van. Now we have eight tractor trailers rolling down the road and it looks like a train. We have so much stuff, I don’t what we have. So that’s why we named it Night Train. It just sounds bad ass too."    Agreed!   Read the entire interview here.    You can also listen to my interview with Jason a few months ago here.
