New Aldean & Swift

For months now, Jason Aldean and Taylor Swift fans have been anxiously awaiting new music.  People like myself have been telling you that Jason & Taylor have been in studio working on new material for quite some time, and now we finally have some more info on what to expect from both artists. 

Jason's new CD will be titled "Night Train" and will have 15 new songs.  He said "There are some surprises on there that might raise a few eyebrows, and there's also some more traditional stuff too. I don't like being put in a box, and I think with every record, we've had a lot of variety. Night Train is no different".  All along, there have been rumors that Aldean was working with a hip-hop artist or artists, so that could be what the surprise is all about.  I'm not crazy about the country/rap thing that is going on now, but I can accept it as part of the ever-evolving genre of country music.  I really do like his first single "Take A Little Ride". 

Jason also confirmed that he recorded a song with Eric Church and Luke Bryan called "The Only Way I Know".  Here's a complete track list:

1. "This Nothin' Town"
2. "When She Says Baby"
3. "Feel That Again"
4. "Wheels Rollin'"
5. "Talk"
6. "The Only Way I Know" (with Luke Bryan and Eric Church)
7. "Take a Little Ride"
8. "I Don't Do Lonely Well"
9. "Night Train"
10. "1994"
11. "Staring at the Sun"
12. "Drink One for Me"
13. "Black Tears"
14. "Walking Away"
15. "Water Tower"

Night Train will be released October 16th.

Last Monday Taylor Swift held a live webcast and announced a few details about her new CD.  The project is called "Red" and will feature 16 new songs.  Taylor told her fans that all the songs on the CD were written about the "tumultuous, insane, intense, semi-toxic relationships I’ve experienced in the past two years".  Unlike her last CD, Taylor enlisted the help of other songwriters for Red.  The first single (which isn't about Joe (or whichever) Jonas) is called "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and you can hear that on 102.7 WXBM.  Taylor will release Red on October 22nd.

Thoughts & prayer going out this week to Wynonna's husband Cactus Moser, who was involved in a serious motorcycle wreck in South Dakota.  His injuries aren't life threatening, but doctors did have to amputate his leg above the knee.
