“We
put so much time and passion into choosing the best songs for this
album, and this brings a lot of hard work full circle for me,” said
Aldean. “It’s like Christmas came early! I couldn’t do it without the
best country music fans in the world, who never stop believing in what I
do and always follow me, even if I may take a creative left turn every
now and then.”
