Nashville, Tenn. (November 13, 2012) — The highly anticipated full-length solo album, The Road, from Blaster Records’ multi-platinum selling artist Aaron Lewis hits stores today, November 13. Co-produced by Lewis and Nashville hit-maker James Stroud, The Road, follows Lewis’ debut solo EP, Town Line, which bowed at #1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart last year.
The Grammy Award-nominated, multi-platinum singer, songwriter, and guitarist tells one story after another on The Road.
Echoing traditional country, some of those tales are hilarious and
heartwarming, while others are pensive and personal. Nevertheless,
they’re all equally powerful, vibrant, and unforgettable. For Lewis, The Road continues to wind and surprise like it always has.
Featuring ten songs, with all but one (“Granddaddy’s Gun”) written by the Lewis, The Road
unfolds with a classic grit and an invigorating energy all directly
from Lewis’s heart and soul. The new album has resonated with the Boston Herald, who went as far as proclaiming Lewis “the state’s first country king.” The Chicago Tribune says, “The Road is one of the best and most cohesive country releases of the year,” while GAC notes Aaron Lewis and The Road “creates a work that honors country tradition while injecting his own soul and experience.” Country Weekly declares “The Road is just getting smoother for the country music version of Aaron,” and the popular country blog, Roughstock.com, concludes, “The Road is positive proof that Aaron Lewis has the musical goods and can most certainly deliver.”
“Forever,” the current single just released to radio November 12,
is a true product of the road itself. The new song captures the longing
and loneliness of life on the tour bus, while reflecting the
immortality of true love. It’s touching and thought-provoking all at
once. A live acoustic version of “Forever” is available as part of an
iTunes-exclusive deluxe version of the album along with four other live
acoustic tracks.
