Country superstar Jason Aldean has unveiled a brand new track and the full rundown of his next studio set, as the second half of his double-album project draws near.
Marking his 10th LP overall, the full Macon, Georgia will arrive on April 22, and it will include the 100-proof romance of “Whiskey Me Away.”
Featuring a swaying slow dance vibe, perfect for circling a floor with a special someone, the track finds Aldean mixing a made-to-order country cocktail. Classic romantic feeling blends easy with boozy references and top-shelf imagery, but the hit maker spices things up adding programmed beats and power-ballad guitars. It’s all a barroom backdrop to two people getting caught up in each other, and letting the world fade away.
“I know I’ve had a few, yeah / But I’m buzzing on you / You’re a hangover I’d love to wake up to / Some come on baby / Whiskey me away,” goes the chorus.
Meanwhile, “Whiskey Me Away” is just one of fifteen tracks that will complete the massive, 30-song track list of Macon, Georgia. Just like the first half of the release, 10 are brand new and five are previously unreleased live takes from Aldean’s hit catalog, this time including “Take a Little Ride,” “Burnin’ It Down,” “Any Ol’ Barstool,” “Rearview Town” and “Blame It On You.”
Aldean relesaed the first half (Macon) in November, featuring his Grammy nominated Number One duet with Carrie Underwood, “If I Didn’t Love You.”
“We’ve always tried to lean toward more songs than less…and this album is no different,” Aldean explains. “We decided to pepper in some of the live tracks we’ve had stockpiled for a while. After nine albums and 16 years of recording, I hope people can tell I wanted to make this tenth album fun and different from anything we’ve done before.”
