When I think of music I think of country music. Country music is one of those types of genres that you can relate to. Jason Andean has been a country singer since 2005, he has recorded for Broken Bow Records, an independent record label which he has released five albums and sixteen singles. Jason’s music is often barely distinguishable from that of peers such as Luke Bryan and Eric Church, but because he’s more famous than they are. His music makes you feel like he knows what you have been through, like he has gone through what you have. Jason’s songs are country but that doesn’t mean that it’s like every other country song. Jason has his own twist that makes it unique. Jason’s voice is a likeable voice not a pitchy voice nobody likes. His attitude in his songs is present but never really fully expressed. In Jason’s single “Dirt Road Anthem” he shows people not use to the south a glimpse into the social activities and recreational activities of the southern youth. I agree with Kevin coyne when he says “ I was shocked to discover that this subculture of American society thrives beyond the paved roads provided by federal and state governments, a stunning statement of independence from the restrictions that we have attempted to construct around such resilient communities.” Because people in the south are more relaxed unlike the people everywhere else. People in the south know how to live their life and they live it to the fullest. I also agree with Mandi Bierly in her review called “Jason Aldean's 'Night Train'” published on the Cnn.com website. This review says “There's an urgency in his voice that gives every driving chorus added heat” because you can relate to his songs. I believe that Jason Aldean’s songs are the songs you would listen to when you just want to be alone and need to think. Saying this I think that his albums are worth the money they cost because what you receive when listening to his songs is greater than what you spent to receive them.
