Quotes by Jason Aldean

If it takes you a year to cut a record, I don’t know, you need to find something else to do. It really shouldn’t take that long.

I don’t really think that audiences are that much different. I think that a fan is the same whether you are from here or from Japan – you come to a show because you like the music. I don’t really see much of a difference anywhere.

I grew up in an age where I loved going and buying a physical record. Things that were digital and all that stuff, it wasn’t around. So I loved going and buying an album and looking through the inserts and reading stuff and seeing pictures.

I think my music is definitely country but it’s got a little bit of that rock flair about it. I always try to find the things that everyday people deal with in their everyday lives and situations in the songs that I sing.

I think it’s important for artists to work together. It’s great for fans to see, like, Ludacris came out to our show in Atlanta and kinda made a surprise appearance there, it shows a mutual respect for what each other does.

Records are one thing, and obviously, without hit songs, you don’t have the opportunity to do your shows. But my live show has always been my selling tool.

There’s a lot of people I’d love to work with at some point, but I think the song has to be the right thing. It has to be the right fit.

My dad started teaching me how to play guitar when I was 13 years old. When he’d go to work, he’d map out guitar cords on a piece of notebook paper. I’d sit down and look at it every day and practice while he was gone.

I only took about five guitar lessons in my life from an actual teacher. I learned fast that that wasn’t for me. I didn’t have the attention span to learn that way. So I learned the basics from my dad, then just from playing on stage, and watching other guitar players.

I think every artist wants to have that ‘Grammy award winner’ tag in front of their name.
