From 'Crossroads' to “underground hit”: Jason Aldean explains how he wound up cutting Bryan Adams’ “Heaven”

Jason Aldean's always had a heavy rock influence in his music, and nowhere is that truer than in his take on Bryan Adams' "Heaven," off the track list of his new album, Macon.

It's a song that he's actually been covering for years, Jason reveals, dating back to a CMT Crossroads performance he and Adams gave in 2009.

"When you do those, you kind of look at songs that you want to record," the singer explains. Each CMT Crossroads episode pairs two artists from different genres for a collaborative set of songs across both their catalogs.

The second half of the double album, Georgia, will arrive in April.
