Jason Aldean My Kinda Party (BBR) “I don’t want my records to sound like everybody else’s,” Aldean says of his 15-track album. “The only way to do that is to cut it like we do ... with my touring band and with a [producer – Michael Knox] that nobody else uses in Nashville, and I’m really proud of that.” Songs include the current single and title track, the Kelly Clarkson duet “Don’t You Wanna Stay” and the rap-inspired “Dirt Road Anthem.” Artists Colt Ford, Brantley Gilbert, Adam Craig and Josh Thompson are among the songwriters.

Brad Paisley Hits Alive (Arista) The single “Anything Like Me” leads Paisley’s two-disc hits collection, which includes 15 No. 1 songs among 25 tracks. The 14-track first disc features studio cuts, while the 11-track second disc is dedicated to unreleased live versions of “Water,” “American Saturday Night,” “Waitin’ On A Woman,” “I’m Gonna Miss Her” and others. A 50-second marching band version of “Online” closes the compilation.

Ratings Battle (continued from page 1) “Jake owns the station and everything we do is built around his life, where he’s been, what he’s seen and what he’s done. There may be some other Country stations in America doing that, but if there are, I’m not aware of it. “The idea came with our consultant Joe Folger, who has had a lot of success in the Adult Hits world with Bob stations. Now, we didn’t take the Bob musical concept because clearly we’re playing new music. But the imaging concept of putting a character at the forefront, with personalities behind that as the fabric of the station is really working.” For instance, imaging voiceovers might include: “That hot guy who worked out next to you on the treadmill today ... that was Jake” or “Jake danced to this song at his cousin’s third wedding in Moore.” Christopher also highlights the station’s intense focus on social networking. “We have 5,400 fans on Facebook and do a ton of stuff through that site. We’re contesting and constantly posting messages from Jake.” For example: “The other night Jason Aldean played the Ford Center. We ended up with a couple of extra tickets about 15 minutes before show time. We put them up on Facebook and were able to give them away literally at the last minute.” Another element in Jake’s personality is a departure of sorts. “We’re not doing any contesting via telephone,” Christopher says. “It’s all by text. We’re trying to hit the younger end of the demo not only musically, but by engaging them through the things they do already. Like Facebook and Twitter. Like
