History Music / JasonAldean

* PowerBallad: "Don't You Wanna Stay" plays this so straight that one critic described it as "Music/BryanAdams meets Music/{{Heart}}".
** "Why" is also one to a lesser extent.

* FlyoverCountry: Discussed in "Fly Over States", in which he sings the praises of the hard workers found in said regions after hearing two businessmen talk about the stereotypes associated with it. The first verse, from the businessmen's perspective, provides the page quote.

Aldean's first album was a solid enough release, bringing him three straight top 10 hits on the country charts, including the #1 hit "Why". The album included several co-writes from Big Kenny and John Rich of Big & Rich. He had the inevitable SophomoreSlump with ''Relentless'', but came back strong with ''Wide Open''. This third album produced three straight #1 hits, including "She's Country", which was the biggest country hit of 2009, and the ubiquitous "Big Green Tractor". And just to prove that he's back for good, ''My Kinda Party'' has produced five hits, including the Music/KellyClarkson duet "Don't You Wanna Stay". ''Night Train'' (2012) includes the single "Take a Little Ride", his fastest-climbing number 1.

* FakeOutFadeOut: Usually done in concert with "Hicktown".

* PowerBallad: "Don't You Wanna Stay" plays this so straight that one critic described it as "Music/BryanAdams [[XMeetsY meets]] Music/{{Heart}}".

* FlyoverCountry: Discussed in "Fly Over States", in which he sings the praises of the hard workers found in said regions after hearing two businessmen talk about the stereotypes associated with it.

* {{Bowdlerize}}: "Johnny Cash" got hit with this. The original version has a spoken "screw you, man" after the first line, which is either played as-is, muted or replaced with "I'm outta here". Some stations also excise "Here that train comin', rollin' round the bend / [[JohnnyCash The Man in Black]] gonna rock your ass again" from the end.

** "Hicktown" is full of it: Ford Bronco, White Rain hair spray, Pall Mall cigarettes, Amoco gas stations, and Kraco speakers.

** Another example, in Colt Ford's original version of Dirt Road Anthem, he says "Man this shit is gettin old". Jason changed it to "Man that talk is gettin old"

* PowerBallad: "Don't You Wanna Stay" plays this so straight that one critic described it as "Music/BryanAdams [[XMeetsY meets]] Music/{{Heart}}". And it is generally considered one of his best songs.

* ProductPlacement: He name-dropped Shiner Bock beer in his song "Take a Little Ride". A week after the single was released, the line was changed to "Rocky tops" because he had signed an endorsement deal with Coors, so his label sent out notes to radio stations asking them to play the "Rocky tops" version instead.

* ThisIsUnforgivable: After "Dirt Road Anthem," a lot of fans who see rap as being fundamentally incompatible with country music want Jason Aldean gone, off the air forever, [[MoralEventHorizon no matter what he might do in the future to make up for it.]] [[LoveItOrHateIt (There are plenty of others who think it's awesome that he did something like that and got away with it, though...)]]

* MissingEpisode: Narrowly averted with ''Relentless''. There was a fire in the studio where the masters were held, but it stopped just shy of said masters. He was literally finishing the album in a smoky, ashen building.

* BlackSheepHit: For a long time, "Why" was both his only love ballad and his only #1 hit.
** Inverted with "Don't You Wanna Stay", his first hit at AC.
** In addition, his highest charting hit on the Billboard Hot 100 to date is "Dirt Road Anthem," a country-rap song, very different from his other songs.
