VIDEO PREMIERE: "TAKE A LITTLE RIDE" - JASON ALDEAN

The wait is over! Country superstar Jason Aldean premiered "Take A Little Ride," the first video off his upcoming album, yesterday on the CMT's Top 20 Countdown and now on CMT.com!

"Take A Little Ride," one of the most highly-anticipated videos of the summer, was directed by Shaun Silva and showcases Jason doing what he does he best - delivering hook-filled country music with an edge. The single is already flying up the charts at radio where it's reached #15 on Billboard Hot Country songs in just three weeks.

With more than six million records sold and nine No. one hits, three-time GRAMMY nominee Jason Aldean is set to release his highly anticipated fifth studio album this fall. The current CMA and Billboard Album of the Year, Aldean’s DOUBLE PLATINUM fourth record MY KINDA PARTY was the top-selling country album of 2011 and the No. five top-seller in all of music, spawning five consecutive No. one hits including the TRIPLE PLATINUM “Dirt Road Anthem” and the crossover smash “Don’t You Wanna Stay” feat. Kelly Clarkson.  The Georgia native’s 2012 MY KINDA PARTY TOUR has sold out every show so far this year, many in a matter of minutes, with his first stadium show in August selling out more than two months in advance.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – June 25, 2012 -- Hank Williams, Jr. world premiered his new video, “That Ain’t Good,” on CMT, Monday, June 25. Fans can tune in to see the video currently playing on the network, as well as during “CMT Top 20 Countdown” on Friday, June 29 at 11 am ET/PT. The video was also posted on CMT.com where it is currently #1.

In addition, FOX 17 will run a special behind-the-scenes story of the making of “That Ain’t Good,” which was partially shot on location at the station tonight (Monday, June 25) during “FOX 17 News at 9:00.”

Filmed on location in Nashville, “That Ain’t Good” provides a sultry, rhythmic look at a man at the end of his rope, propelled by a sterling Hank Jr. performance that gets completely inside the character.

“I’ve had that song for several years,” says Hank Jr. of the single. “I took my dobro to a completely different type of tuning, and it’s one of those that just has that kind of flow to it. And it’s got that really serious aspect to it, too, about people blowing themselves up, and your kids ask, ‘why do people do that?’ How do you answer that? That ain’t good. To me, that song is me. ‘I used to like to go fishin’, sold my boat and motor, something aint’ right about this.’ That ain’t good.”

Old School, New Rules is Williams’ first album on his new imprint, Bocephus Records. The twelve-song package includes Hank, Jr.’s new single, “That Ain’t Good”, a duet with Brad Paisley on “I’m Gonna Get Drunk And Play Hank Williams” as well as a new duet version of Merle Haggard’s classic “I Think I’ll Just Sit Here and Drink” with the Hall of Famer himself. Trace Adkins also lends his vocal talent to a line on a separate track. Bocephus Records is licensed to Blaster Entertainment and distributed by Warner Music Nashville.

Old School, New Rules is set for release on July 10, 2012. The 12-song package is available for pre-sale now at www.hankjr.com.

With more than 70 albums to his credit, sales of 55 million records, countless awards including five Entertainer of the Year awards (ACM & CMA), BMI Icon Award, a Grammy, and most recently in 2009 the Academy of Country Music “Pioneer Award,” Williams is a living legend.
