Jason Aldean shipped a new single, "My Kinda Party," to country radio on Wednesday (Aug. 4), with an official add date of Aug. 16. It's the first release from his upcoming album, due in the fall. "This song is all about workin' for the weekend. My fans work hard, so they can rip it up when Saturday rolls around," says Aldean. "I hope they hear this one and want to turn it up. We put a little extra juice on the electric guitars just for that reason." Aldean's next concert date is WE Fest in Detroit Lakes, Minn., on Friday (Aug. 6). He will resume his Wide Open tour with Luke Bryan on Sept. 10 in Corbin, Ky.
