2009 release, the third album from the successful Country rocker. After selling two million copies of his first two albums, topping the charts with five smash hits, racking up award nominations and hitting every stop on the requisite "new artist" tour circuit for the last three years, Aldean is running full throttle into Spring. As the title implies, Wide Open celebrates the unlimited opportunities life offers, while recognizing the all-too-familiar speed bumps along the way. "She's Country," the first single off Wide Open, is now the fastest-rising single of his career to date.
"If you like "She's Country", you'll love the rockin sounds of "Crazy Town". All others are slower and more sappy songs. "Wide Open" and "This I Gotta See" are a little faster. Overall if you're good with a slower, love/loss album, it's great; just don't expect an entire album of rockin like "She's Country"."
GOOD~~BUT NOT WIDE OPEN

"I expected with a title such as "Wide Open" Jason Aldean would have stepped a little further out of his safety zone and ventured into some new musical territory, but that is not the case with his third album release. This is not to say "Wide Open" is a bad album, in fact, I find it better than his debut but not quite as good as his sophmore "Relentless" album, but there is just not enough material to separate Jason from the rest of the Nashville cowboy hatters that could have sang these same songs. However, a major plus for Jason, is that you can tell that after three albums and a heavy touring schedule, Jason bolsters much more depth, emotion, and confidence in his singing, which still puts him way ahead of the other male country singers on the radio. With a great and unique voice, awesome stage presence, and a pure talent to tell a song as well as sing it, I hope that next time, Jason truely is "Wide Open.""
Jason Aldean's Best Yet

"This is a great album......probably the last before he becomes as famous as Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley, and Keith Urban."
He does it again

"If you love his self titled and Relentless albums, you will love this one. I'm so glad that decided not to change the formula that made him a big star. This is a CD that hasn't left my player since I got my hands on it and won't be for a long time. My favorite song on the CD has been Crazy Town so far. However over time I know that will change depending on what's going on in my life. If you want a great CD to sit back and listen to, this is one you should get."
LOVE this cd!

"I have his previous two cd's and I LOVE this one the same as the other two. His cd's just flow and love his voice, good songs."
