Country newcomer Jason Aldean scored big with his 2005 self-titled Broken Bow Records' debut. Aldean racked up three Top 10 hits, including the number one single "Why," and sold more than a million discs. With his second album, Relentless, the Georgia native is poised to take his career to the next level.
Forget about sophomore slumps or second album jitters, Aldean steps up to the plate with Relentless and hits a grand slam. Jason Aldean, a good album in its own right, had an air of new artist desperation to it; Aldean wanted to make his mark after already suffering through two failed record deals. Relentless, on the other hand, drips of hard earned confidence. Aldean turns up the volume in places and delves into an earthy and welcome traditional sound in others.
"Johnny Cash," the turbo-charged first single, a sawing fiddle fest about youthful abandon, will appeal to Aldean's longtime fans, but it's the rest of the album that will win him new ones. The reflective "Laughed Until We Cried" and the dejected "Back In This Cigarette" are two of the best compositions to come out of Nashville in awhile. The latter, an acoustic leaning cut, finds the singer sifting through the ashes of a broken relationship. Figuring out what happened is about as likely as, "putting smoke back in this cigarette," Aldean moans.
The heartbroken guy in "Who's Kissing You Tonight" could be the same dude who tried to smoke and drink away his woman's memory in "Back In This Cigarette." Aldean's vocals, awash in weeping steel guitar and haunting organ, ooze anguish. "Do You Wish It Was Me," a track propelled by bright acoustic guitars and lazy electric leads, features the same character, this time wondering if his woman thinks of him when she's with her new lover.
Listeners who ever chased a dream others thought was foolish will relate to, "I Use What I Got." Aldean flips something better than the bird in the face of all the naysayers, his success. With the help of over-driven guitars, the singer gets his point across. Aldean climbs back into his broken heart for "Grown Woman," a mournful number blanketed in soul piercing steel licks. Miranda Lambert adds tearful harmonies to the song, but her performance pales next to Aldean's.
Anyone not yet convinced Jason Aldean is a serious contender in the country music universe, will change their tune once they hear Relentless.

Country singer and guitarist Jason Aldean was born in Macon, GA, in 1977. His parents separated when he was three years old, and he spent his childhood with his mother in Macon through the school year while spending the summers with his father in Homestead, FL. He fell early under the spell of country music and made his first public appearance as a singer at a VFW hall in Macon when he was 14 years old. Soon he was a regular at area talent contests, and a year later he joined the house band at Nashville South in Macon. Aldean began pursuing a music career on a full-time basis following his graduation from high school and, with his father as a booking agent, was soon gigging in college towns throughout the Southeast and up and down the Eastern Seaboard. Aldean privately financed an eight-song CD during this period to sell at shows, recording it in Nashville in 1996. Michael Knox spotted Aldean at an Atlanta showcase a year or two later, and signed the singer to a songwriting contract with Warner-Chapell Publishing, which allowed Aldean to move to Nashville in 1998. When a couple of recording deals fell through and his songwriting contract was about to expire, Aldean was on the verge of giving up on the music business when he attracted the attention of the independent label Broken Bow Records, which released his debut album, simply called Jason Aldean, in 2005. Aldean returned to the studio in January 2007 to work on his sophomore release, Relentless. The album, featuring the single "Johnny Cash," hit stores in May. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide
