![]() ![]() Therefore, it’s unimpeachably country, damn it! ) When I first head this, I got the impression Aldean also sought out Joey Moi for at least this cut in that it sounds reminiscent of Florida-Georgia Line’s own “Dayum, Baby”.īut, lo and behold: it name-drops BOTH Jack Daniels and “Old Alabama”. Httpv://I was surprised to find that Aldean’s longtime producer, Michael Knox, produced this. I think I’ll pull out some wholesome Conway Twitty to cleanse my mind now! With that, it’s no surprise that Florida Georgia Line is connected to this smoldering piece of dreck. What’s more, I know that readers will tell me that I shouldn’t have been surprised at this point, but it’s been so long since I’ve turned to a mainstream country radio station that I was still dumbfounded by how decidedly non-country this song sounds, especially the intro! It’s something that would fit perfectly on a pop station and might even sound good there, but it’s way too low rent in the context of country music. “Burnin’ it Down” crosses the line to the latter categories on all accounts. And there’s a line between a classy, passionate love song and a classless, passionless sex filled song. There’s a line between a sexy song and a sex filled song. ![]() There’s a line between a passionate love song and a passionless song. Instead, the song is high octane graphic with no sense of real intimacy and nothing left up to the imagination. But their songs maintained a respect for the intimacy, which Jason Aldean’s “Burnin” it Down” grossly fails to do. Conway Twitty, Alabama, Charlie Rich, even Alan Jackson ,as well as many others, haven’t shied away from memorably singing about sexual intimacy. It covers the topical gambit of love, drinking, cheating, murder and, yes, even passion. "Burnin' It Down" is now being played on country radio and is available at digital retailers.Written by Rodney Clawson, Tyler Hubbard, Brian Kelley, and Chris TompkinsĬountry music isn’t historically prudish. It's a new album, a new sound and ('Burnin' It Down' says) this is a whole new thing coming out." "I think sometimes you're fortunate enough to find really cool songs that allow you to do that, and I think the first single really is that song that sets the tone for everything else. "I think with every album we've tried to push a little bit more and not go in a completely different direction … but not feel like we're making the same record over and over," he said. And he said the song gives fans a preview of what they can expect from the rest of the album. I think it's one of those things people don't expect to hear from us, which I like to throw those songs in every now and then."Īldean said the "clincher" for him was that the lyrics mention one of his favorite country groups: Alabama. "This was a song that came in that I thought was really cool and different and it was different than anything we've put out. "I don't want to feel like we keep doing the same thing," he said. The content is sexier than the songs he normally records, and the tempo is slower than the fast songs Aldean tends to release as the first song from new albums. The song, which is available on iTunes today, is the first single from Aldean's forthcoming album that will be in stores by Christmas.Īldean is the first to admit the steamy song - written by Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley of Florida Georgia Line, along with prolific songwriters Chris Tompkins and Rodney Clawson - is a change of pace for him. That's how he described "Burnin' It Down" this weekend ahead of his Great American Ball Park show in Cincinnati. Ask Jason Aldean what his new song "Burnin' It Down" is about and he might say: "A dude that was, you know, just having fun naked in the bed making out with this chick listening to 'Dixieland Delight' and drinking whiskey."
