Jason Aldean is a bonafide country star. His hit song ‘Johnny Cash’ was featured on his 2007 album ‘Relentless.’ Jason’s version became a Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart.
The performance video starts with shots of cars, Jason setting up his stage, and standing in front of lit-up signs. The surroundings are Las Vegas, and the band plays among the old neon sign junkyard.
Then. Jason starts to sing, and his band is in a grass field with lightbulbs on the ground. A woman stands in the road, and she’s lost and needs a car. Jason picks her up in a classic ‘Trans-Am,’ and they drive away on the highway. An excellent guitar solo fills the song’s middle section.
Jason sings the lyrics, ‘Throw your suitcase in the back. Done gassed up the Pontiac. Blasting out to Johnny Cash, heading for the highway. Baby, we ain’t ever coming back.’
Jason Aldean is a singer, songwriter, and record producer. Since 2005, he has released ten albums and 40 singles. His biggest-selling album was 2010’s ‘My Kinda Party,’ certified quadruple-platinum.
27 singles have reached number 1 on the charts. Jason’s hits include ‘Big Green Tractor,’ ‘Dirt Road Anthem,’ ‘Night Train,’ and ‘When She Says Baby.’ His song ‘Johnny Cash’ pays tribute to the country legend known as the ‘Man in Black.’
Johnny Cash is a country music icon, and Jason Aldean recognizes his influence over the genre. The video concludes with Jason kicking out a lightbulb in reference to the Johnny Cash incident at the ‘Grand Ole Opry.’ To top it off, Jason switches his typical white cowboy hat for a black one to honor Johnny.
