Jason Aldean Night Train Album Details

Jason Aldean Night Train, Track Listing and Album Cover! You know that we love some Jason Aldean here at CMNB! So, for all those fellow Aldean-ites, we’ve gone ahead and put all the details about his highly anticipated upcoming album release, Night Train, in one nice neat spot! Following up his fan and industry favorite, My Kinda Party, Night Train will release on October 16th. The interesting title has its inspiration in Aldean’s tour vehicles. “It’s one of those things where we went from one bus pulling a trailer to all the sudden we’ve got six or seven buses and eight or nine trucks. We’re all rolling down the interstate together at night, and that’s what it looks like. It looks like a big freight train rolling down the interstate. It just kind of to me sums up how far things have come over the last few years.” -Jason Aldean Aldean has already released “Take A Little Ride“, and it looks like there are a lot of great singles on this record! I am especially looking forward to taking a listen to “The Only Way I Know” which features two other CMNB favorites, Luke Bryan and Eric Church! Listen to Aldean’s “Take A Little Ride” Now!
