Running it back. Earlier this morning, XRoads 41 announced the lineup for their second annual music festival and it features some of the hottest names in all of country music.

Jason Aldean is officially working on new music. Just moments ago, the 47 year-old country star shared a video to his Instagram story of him and his band back in the studio working on what one would assume is a brand new album. Aldean released his last record, “Highway Desperado,” back in November of last year, and with his tour of the same name wrapping up just a couple weeks ago, it looks like he is right on schedule.
