Jason Aldean 1994-New Single

Jason Aldean Announces That “1994” Will Be His Next Single. Jason Aldean has announced that his next single will be “1994.” The song comes from his recent album, Night Train. I know that a lot of people are probably going to have a problem with this song, but I’m not one of them! I don’t care if people think it “isn’t country.” It is, in my opinion, 4 minutes and 2 seconds worth of fabulous! It’s not something I normally fall in love with, but I did! The first time I heard it was the day Night Train came out, back in October. At first I was laughing and thinking WTH? But before it was over I was dancing in my Jeep and belting “Joe, Joe, Joe Diffie.” This song is made up of Joe Diffie songs and lyrics, and that my friends is COOL! Seriously, who doesn’t love Joe??? If you don’t have “John Deere Green” or “Bigger Than the Beatles” in your music library, well there is a huge possibility that we can’t be friends. So there it is. I’ve said it. I LOVE Jason Aldean’s new single, “1994.” If you haven’t heard it then do so now! If you have and don’t like it, we can just agree to disagree!

Top 10 Jason Aldean Songs

HaleighT’s List Of The Top 10 Jason Aldean Songs. As all of my friends and family know, I am a huge Jason Aldean fan. This is not a new thing, (I am no bandwagon jumper) I’ve been a fan since before I could even drive! I remember like it was yesterday, my best friend Taylor picked me up for school every morning (she was older) and we’d jam to Aldean while we raced not to be late. I have seen him in concert multiple times and I own all of his albums. The earrings don’t bother me, I love him in some Wrangler Retros and I appreciate that he isn’t stick thin! As for recent media, well that is his families business and I won’t touch on that at this time. He puts on a great show and sounds awesome live (some artists can’t say as much). Monday night he won the Touring Artist of the Year award at the ACA’s, so I know I am not the only one with these opinions. But, back to the matter at hand, here is the list of my Top 10 Aldean songs! Now these can, and often do, change order. Some might not make the list and others not mentioned might, depends on my mood (heck, it changed 5 times while I was writing this post). Take a look and tell me what you think! Song/ Album 10. Amarillo Sky/ Jason Aldean 9. Good To Go/ Jason Aldean 8. Hicktown/ Jason Aldean 7. My Kinda Party/ My Kinda Party 6. Walking Away/ Night Train 5. Days Like These/ My Kinda Party 4. Night Train/ Night Train 3. Do You Wish It Was Me/ Relentless 2. The Truth/ Wide Open 1. See You When I See You/ My Kinda Party
