ACM ``Artist of the Decade” Jason Aldean swept through Omaha this week with his “We Back-Tour” a single released of the album ''9`.` February 7th, 2020 just days after the Post Malone ``Runaway Tour” hit the hot stage at the CHI Health Center, Aldean brought with him a different kind of sound. Like Post Malone, Jason Aldean couldn’t be type casted into one genre of music style, you could try but Jason and Post would prove you wrong. Jason sang mostly country, but peppered a little rock, hip-hop and even sang a duet with Miranda Lambert digitally, of course.
He strutted his way back and forth the stage in his faded jeans and red t-shirt, that featured the Charlie Daniels Band. Let us not forget a country singer’s most treasured article of clothing choice. The hat. The cowboy hat. Crooning to over 14,000 standing people, a sold-out show, beers held high, fingers waving and shouting the words as if they wrote the song themselves. “Rearview Town” was a new song off the #1 LP titled “9”.
Kicking the night off with the song “Take A Little Ride” had the girls dancing and the announcement of a new whiskey Wolf Moon then had the men dancing and howling. I know there are many celebrities that sponsor their own brand of perfume, cologne or shoe etc...but for me, and this might not mean much, this is the first time I had heard of a whiskey brand being announced on stage by the artist. This takes merch to a whole 'nother level. Country singers are hardworking, hard singin’ cowboys who now have their own whiskey. I gotta say this, it was a night of good music that in my favor wasn’t too country and even the songs that were, just didn’t feel so, twangy. I danced a little, and listened to some of the songs on my new Amazon Prime playlist on the drive home. Jason Aldean is fantastic entertainer, and I would "Take A Little Ride" with him again anytime.
