Jason Aldean Returns 7/14-15

Jason Aldean returns for a second week as co-host. His current Top 5 is How Far Does a Goodbye Go. It’s from his forthcoming album Songs About Us. The album includes a duet with Jason’s wife Brittany. She also appears in the video to his current hit. Jason will leave next week for a tour of Australia & New Zealand.

Jason’s new album has a duet with his wife Brittany Aldean that was written by Charles Kelley of Lady A: “Charles sent me the song, and I listened to it, and it sounded like a Lady A song.  I went to my wife said I thought she’d sound good on the song.  I liked the fact that it wasn’t a sappy love song.  I just wanted it to be cool, and I like more heartache songs anyway. She went in and killed it.”

Jason’s wife is also in the video for How Far Does a Goodbye Go: “We thought it was cool to tie it in, since she’s on the album too.  When she was filming her part, I heard her screaming and acting crazy. I went to the monitor to see if she was alright.  She was just getting into character. It just worked out.”

Lon asked for an update on Memphis & Navy: “They’re good, they’re in school. Memphis is 8, Navy will be 7 soon, they’re close in age, they’re best friends, they do everything together.  It’s awesome.  I don’t think they know what to do without the other one.”

Lon asked if he’s taking them to Australia: “They were gonna go. Then Memphis asked how long the flight was.  I told him ’22 hours.’  He went to Brit and said, ‘I don’t think I wanna go.’  She said ‘Maybe I’ll stay home so they can go to school.’  So I think that’s what’s gonna happen.  It’s a lot for them. We may do a vacation rather than a work thing.”

Lon also asked Jason if he’s moving to a new house? “We’ve been looking at land for a few years.  Where we are now, we thought we’d have to move because of school districts.  We’re not in a big hurry.  We found some land we like. We’re probably gonna build on it at some point. Maybe in the next year or so.  Same area, not far from where we are. We both like dabbling in real estate.  We’ve been here 6 years. We don’t know what it looks like yet. I’m not looking forward to it.  I like the finished product.  It’s a lot of work building a house.”

Jason also has great stories this week about Luke Bryan, Zach Top, Tucker Wetmore, Hardy, and David Lee Murphy.
