Here’s everything you need to know about Jason Aldean 9 album. It launched on November 22, 2019. There’s so much to expect from this new release, and even more heart-grabbing facts as we look at his tour dates over the next several months. More on that below. For now, let’s just run through some of what we know and love about this new album release.

The Title

Everything to know about Jason Aldean 9 album starts with the title. There is more than one reason Jason Aldean has titled his latest album “9”. It is, in fact, his ninth album. But, Jason is a huge baseball fan and his team number was 9. As he explained in an interview with The Tennessean when he was a teenager, he signed everything with his name and the number ‘nine.’ It seems ideally fitting.

Album Facts

Aldean has teamed with veteran producer, Michael Knox, to complete his ninth album. “9” features a lead single “We Back”. The song was written by Tyler Hubbard of Florida Georgia Line.

One of his fans described the song as an awesome rocking country song. In fact, “We Back” is a throwback to some of Aldean’s earlier songs like “She’s County” and “My Kind of Party”. In this newest single, Jason pays tribute to the good old days and how they come back around.

Aldean describes the music on his new album as a blend of twangy country, hard rock, and hip-hop swagger.

When asked his thoughts on this new album and the prospect of an extended tour, the star commented that he would put a priority on eating healthy and keeping fit. This is a new territory. Perhaps being over forty has brought new emphases. For Aldean, the ability to experiment with new songs and genres is important. He wanted to include the rock aspect of his music as well as the traditional country music his fans expect. He has also tried some rhythm and blues material.

“9” shows the influence of some people he admires. To complete the album, Aldean looked for great songs in all these genres. It is his hope that each of the sixteen songs on the album will become singles hits.

1. “Tattoos and Tequila” (Michael Dulaney, Neil Thrasher)

In “I Don’t Drink Anymore” Aldean joins neo-traditionalist artists including Jon Pardi. Theirs is a celebration of the roots of the genre. The third song is a zippy, pop/country tune about hometown memories called “Keeping It Small Town”.

Touring Plans

With the release of his ninth album, “9,” Aldean starts a Las Vegas residency in December and a 2020 headlining arena tour.

There will be a heavy tour. However, the kickoff occurs between December sixth and eighth with a big Las Vegas show. Aldean has always wanted to bring his show back to Las Vegas. It will be their first show in Vegas since the October 2017 mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival.

Titled “Ride All Night” the three performances, mini-residency will be held at the glitzy fifty-two-hundred-seat Park Theater in Park MGM.

With such an ambitious touring project ahead, Jason Aldean is attempting to balance family life with two young children and weeks spent on the road. He noted that his wife and children occasionally travel with him but the kids quickly tire of life aboard the tour bus. So, they try to make these trips short ones. Thanks to technology and innovations like Face Time, he can stay in touch with the family while on tour.
