Jason Aldean - "My Kinda Party"
By: Matt Bjorke
After releasing four straight Top 5 singles on his third album Wide Open, Jason Aldean returns to the radio with another rock-infused tune. This song – which was written by fellow Georgia native Brantley Gilbert and appeared on his first album Modern Day Prodigal Son – is the exact kind of song that suits Aldean’s voice the best. In fact, Gilbert and Aldean have quite a bit in common musically so when I heard that “My Kinda Party” was going to be released by Jason Aldean, it made quite a bit of sense to me.
The verses are well-structured with Brantley Gilbert’s lyrics telling the story of a guy who is ready to let the problems of the world go away as he relaxes and parties in the country with friends. The lyrics aren’t ‘Nashville’ as far as Nashville committee songs go and the second verse actually finds the narrator telling his girlfriend to give him her keys so that she can enjoy herself and not worry about getting home. In a song where the alcohol is flowing this is verse that shows responsibility and that should make this song even more enjoyable for some.
Melodically the song fits right in with Jason Aldean’s hits like “She’s Country” “Johnny Cash” and “Hicktown” as the song is thouroughly a modern country rocker but the difference between it and those three is that the song isn’t nearly as ‘hard-edged’ as those songs were. Given the success of those songs and Aldean’s own string of success, it’s hard to imagine “My Kinda Party” being anything but another Top 5 possibly chart-topping #1 hit for Jason Aldean.
I hope this means that country radio will be more willing to play Brantley Gilbert’s own music as his own album Halfway To Heaven is quite stellar and if nothing else, Brantley should get a tour opening slot for Jason Aldean’s next tour and Jason’s fans should check out both of Brantley’s albums.

I am a Huge Jason Aldean Fan and country music enthusiast. Honestly, I feel Jason's version is better overall. In the end I assume this is a favor from Jason to Brantley beings that he is helping Brantley get his name out there. This song has introduced me to more of Brantley's song and I agree he is a talented singer like Jason.

I like all Ga singers. I support most local singers. I want Brantley on local radio, he is very talented and his songs are better than most of this crap thats out there. country has became not so country anymore....country music singers tell story's of real things not just a bunch of nonsense blah thrown together that make no sense at all.

I really like Jason Aldean but I agree with most, Brantley's version is SO much better. It is a great opportunity for Brantley to get noticed! Maybe one day soon, he'll come and tour Australia =)

I feel like a big baby every time I listen to this song.... The tears of joy keep coming. Thank you Jason, Michael, Neena, and everyone who was willing to give ole Brantley a chance to get noticed.... This is a great version of an amazing song.... Rusty-pallooza lives on.... Banks County is in the house....

Brantley did a MUCH better job. As much as I love Jason, its just not suited to him... But maybe this will get Brantley some airtime. He is such an AMAZING artist!

I love it! I saw Jason Aldean on June 5th last year in Jackson Mississippi and Brantley did open for him it was an awesome show. It was the first time I had heard Brantley but ever since I have loved every Brantley Gilbert song Ive heard.

Personally I love Brantley Gilbert's version alot better.I couldn't listen to the whole song just b/c Jason Aldean wasn't doing it justice,but either way they are both great artists!!

So glad that someone else realizes that although Jason is a great artist, credit needs to be given where it is due. Brantley and the band really do deserve a spot opening for Jason Aldean and I hope he offers that to him. Brantley Gilbert deserves to be heard on the radio...even more than some of those mainstream artists out there.
