Macon, Ga., native Jason Aldean has been a country mainstay since his single “Hicktown,” a rollicking, irreverent ode to small towns everywhere, reached No. 10 on the country charts back in 2005. But it wasn't until his third album, Wide Open, that Aldean truly emerged as one of the South's most scintillating talents, with three consecutive songs peaking at No. 1. The first, “She's Country,” became a crossover mega-hit, while the third, “The Truth,” was a lovelorn change-up that showed Aldean could break hearts just as easily as he could make them beat faster.
