And the follow up to [lastfm link_type=""]Jason Aldean[/lastfm]‘s My Kinda Party will be, drum roll please, well it won’t be called My Kinda Party II, I’ll tell you that.  Jason is putting the finishing touches on his fifth album.  Jason says he stuck with the music his fans love and have come to expect.

“One thing I didn’t want to go in and do was make ‘My Kinda Party II.’”  ”But at the same time, and I think I said this on the last record, too, I don’t want to ever totally get away from what it is that got me to this point — that sound and hard-charging kind of thing that I’m known for, because that’s what I enjoy to play. At the same time, I think on the ‘My Kinda Party’ record we changed it up. We did the [duet] with Kelly [Clarkson], we did ‘Dirt Road Anthem’ … just little snippets of things like that that are kind of different and odd.”  Regarding the new record Jason said: ”It’s going to be the kind of record that people are used to us making. It’s still going to be that hard-driving stuff and a couple of little surprises in there, too. It’s good … I think so, anyway.”

Aldean hopes the yet-to-be-titled new album will hit stores around October or November of this year. Just in time for Christmas gift giving.
