April 11, 2013 Jason Aldean is still climbing the charts with his latest song "1994," where he kind-of raps the lyrics about the things he remember from back then. It's a song that suits Jason well but was written by another rap-loving country star.
Blake Shelton's introduced Jason Aldean by quipping, "Back in 1994, Hunter Hayes was still breastfeeding." The audience loved the crack, and everyone was in good spirits when Aldean took the stage to sing his current single at the 2013 ACM Awards on Sunday (April 7).
April 5, 2013 The 48th annual ACM Awards are this week, live from Las Vegas on Sunday (April 7) at 8 p.m. on CBS. Eric Church has the most nominations going into the night and most likely will (should) walk away with an award or two.
Here are my picks (who I feel should win) and "industry picks" (who probably will win).
Two new videos make their Taste of Country Top 10 Video Countdown debut this week. '1994,' the new clip from Jason Aldean, and 'Hey Pretty Girl,' the latest from Kip Moore, both find a home amongst the most popular country music videos. They knocked superstars like Kenny Chesney from contention early, but did either get enough support to top last week's No. 1 video?
Jason Aldean shows off his acting skills in a new Coors Light Avalanche commercial. The 30-second piece depicts two snowboarders racing a fast-approaching avalanche in order to deliver an ice-cold beer to fan-favorite Aldean, who's clad in the usual cowboy hat, sporting his familiar drawl.
The 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards aren't scheduled to air until April 7, but we already know some of the top acts that have won. In a special announcement on Friday (March 22), the ACMs revealed the winners of some of the special off-camera awards, including huge stars like Lady Antebellum, Jason Aldean and Blake Shelton.
March 21, 2013 Jason Aldean has released a new party anthem song called "1994" that is really a tribute to country singer Joe Diffie. He's following in the path of the success of "Dirt Road Anthem," where he raps some of the lyrics to the song. The video has just been released as well, and from the looks of things, he's got some support from a lot of country's biggest stars.
Tim McGraw has put together an unbeatable lineup to perform on his CBS special, 'ACM Presents: Tim McGraw's Superstar Summer Night.' In addition to country stars Taylor Swift, Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean, R&B artist Ne-Yowill make an appearance.
February 26, 2013 Tim McGraw's "One Of Those Nights" holds the no. 1 spot on the Billboard Country chart this week. It's the first single from his latest album "Two Lanes Of Freedom."
February 19, 2013 Jason Aldean's long string of hits is about to continue. He just scored his 11th no. 1 hit with "The Only Way I Know," but I don't know if this may be his 12th. "1994" is an energetic song that really has me on the fence. Take a listen...
February 14, 2013 Here's a little list of love songs to keep handy on this Valentine's Day. You can call it "My Top Country Love Song" list, but there are toooo many to really put into a serious list.
Having the biggest country music scandal of any year is an honor that comes with few congratulatory messages, so it seems unlikely many will be showered upon Jason Aldean for winning at the 2012 Taste of Country Awards. His night out with dancer and former 'American Idol' contestant Brittany Kerr was named the Scandal of the Year by Taste of Country readers.
