On his sophomore CD, Jason Aldean, the Academy of Country Music's Top New Male Vocalist for 2006, continues to rely on a proven formula--recording several John Rich co-writes, and reprising producer Michael Knox--while pushing harder on the rocking side of his Georgia roots. A platinum-seller his first time out, he stocks the new album with songs from reliable hitmakers (Brett James, Jim Collins, Tom Shapiro) to score at radio (watch for his duet with Miranda Lambert, "Grown Woman"), but also isn't afraid to get edgy ("Back in This Cigarette," about an anguished breakup). A serviceable baritone, a hat act with pierced ears, Aldean relies on attitude when all else fails, and it works. "Johnny Cash," his rocking ode to rebellion and rebirth, is the fastest-rising single of his career. --Alanna Nash

Product Description
Jason Aldeans new album Relentless is a giant step forward. After achieving Platinum success with his debut every one involved knew that the best was yet to come. Jason has grown so much in the last 2 years and it shows in the songs that he has delivered for this album.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid, June 28, 2007

By	D. Dan "DP" (San Rafael, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Jason Aldean is definitely one of the best young artists in country music. His second album is solid, but not better than his first. Of course, it's difficult to top the last CD.

There are a lot of really good tracks on the CD including "I Use What I Got", "Cigarette", and "Laughed Until We Cried."

The first single, "Johnny Cash" is okay... it's just too manufactured for radio... it's just not a natural song, which seems to be a theme with these songs. A lot are a product of the Nashville songwriting formula.

At times, the songs sound dangerously close to Rascal Flatts, which is bad. That's not something anyone should aspire to be.

All and all, it's a solid album and I like it. He makes it work, and his voice is awesome. I just wish he wasn't touring with Rascal Flatts so I could actually see the man in concert. Good thing he'll be around for years to come.

4.0 out of 5 stars great sophomore effort, June 7, 2007

By	Dwayne C. Mcintosh "deaconmac" (albuquerque nm usa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

very good disc... not quite as good as his first, but that would have been hard to top... this guy is a great talent, great voice, great guitar work ... my biggest dissappointment was the duet with Miranda Lambert, they could have used her amazing voice much more powerfully than they did ... but all said, this should get Jason another 2 or 3 huge hits, and a few awards ... if you liked his debut, you will like this disc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this guy's voice, June 1, 2007

By	Lauryn2000 "Niether a borror or lender" (Bronx, New York United States) - See all my reviews

I'm not a big country fan music lover but I have bought Shania Twain's and Tim McGraw's cd's.I never listened to Jason Aldean or ever of him but his cd was on sale so I picked it up.All I can is "WOW...I love this guy's voice".
The way he lays it on you with "Johnny Cash" and "I Use What I Got",two of my favorites on the cd.
Nice listen if you are taking a nice long drive during these summer days!
