The tour news comes as Aldea also has a new single, “Let Your Boys Be Country,” at radio now. The song, written by Jaron Boyer, Allison Veltz Cruz and Micah Wilshire, is from Aldean’s Highway Desperado album, released on November 3.
“I got a five-year-old little boy who’s growing up in a crazy world right now,” Aldean told Taste of Country, speaking of his son, Memphis, who turns six on December 1. “It’s like, man, just let them be kids. Let them be little. Let them go play and do all the things they’re supposed to do and figure things out for themselves.
“Little boys grow up to be men that are supposed to get married and take care of their family and be providers,” he continued. “As parents, you gotta raise them to be that. To me, it was a song that hit home when it comes to thinking about him being little and what’s in store for him later.”
Aldean received backlash for his recent “Try That in a Small Town,” which became his 28th No. 1 hit, in spite of the controversy.
“I think for me, I heard this song, and it just kind of explained to me what’s going on in the world,” Aldean said on The Bobby Bones Show, when the song was released. “It resonated with me, I guess is a better word, because of what’s going on in the world. But it’s like, every day, you turn on the news, and you see something else crazy that’s happening, or some heartbreaking story. This is a song that talks about, you wouldn’t get away with that stuff in a small town.
“It’s just a different mindset and different kind of values in small-town America that I wish everybody else would adopt, and probably help some of the things that are going on in the world,” he added.
