“CMT comes and says, ‘Okay, well, what Bryan Adams songs do you want to do?’ And so I sent them my Bryan Adams songs,” Jason explains. Each CMT Crossroads episode pairs two artists from different genres for a collaborative set of songs across both their catalogs. “When you do those, you kind of look at songs that you want to record,” the singer explains.

This to me is where I pull from like the Otis Reddings and those guys, to come in and do this kind of stuff.Jason Aldean ’s always had a heavy rock influence in his music, and nowhere is that truer than in his take on Bryan Adams ’ “ Heaven,” off the track list of his new album, Macon. When he started singing the melody, I was just like, ‘Man, this is really cool.’ And this goes back to what we were talking about earlier when I was talking about all the influences from where I'm from. Neil Thrasher, one of the writers on that song, is one of my favorite people in town, favorite writers.

It gives you an appreciation for all these different kinds of music.” Growing up, you're kind of exposed to all that stuff, and it's just cool. He told Apple Music about the album, “Between Macon and Atlanta, it was just like this melting pot of all this different kind of music that was coming in there. Jason Aldean titled the album after his Peach State hometown, Macon. It comprises 15-track, featuring guest appearance from Carrie Underwood. The new album “Macon” is part of his first double album project “Macon, Georgia”.
