This week's guest is one of the most legendary country artists of all time. He is a 4x platinum artist as well as ACM's Artist of the Decade. He is an avid Georgia Bulldogs fan, owner of countless businesses, and knows how to have a damn good time: JASON ALDEAN
First, Jason and ERNEST talk about Jason's first few years in Nashville and what had to happen for him to find his footing in this industry. Then, they jump into his country music "freshman class" and what it was like performing with Ludacris at the CMT awards. Next, they answer some fan questions, discuss why Tyler Farr's property is excellent for slinging mud as well as getting a tan by the horse trough, and we hear about Jason's ventures in the music industry. Finally, they close out the episode with how Jason's outdoor brand, Buck Commander, came to be, the two discuss their favorite artists (Jason's pick may surprise you), and Jason describes which awards have meant the most to him.
Oh yeah, and disaster finds ERNEST while recording…
