Jason Aldean Realizes Baseball Stadium Dreams In A Different Way
. The country star has spent most of 2014 rolling across America on the Burn It Down Tour, which has included stops at a handful of the country's premier Major League Baseball stadiums, moments that the former baseball player always makes a point to appreciate. "I grew up honestly thinking that baseball was going to be my career path. To walk away from that, what could've possibly been a career in baseball to play music�for me, it does bring it full circle," he says. "It gives me a chance to go in and play some of these ballparks. Fenway Park, Wrigley Field�to sort of experience that vibe in the ballparks is something I never thought in a million years. For me, it's just a cool way to bring it all back together and have the best of it all, really." When asked which of his own songs would make for a good baseball walk-up track, he immediately calls out the title track of his fourth studio album, released back in 2010. "If I had to pick one of my songs, it would probably be 'My Kinda Party.' It's hard not to get jacked up for that one," he laughs. "There's a song that we actually come out to every night onstage, and it's a song called 'Secret Weapon.' It's by the Jompson Brothers. It's just one of those songs that gets you fired up ready to go. If I had to pick something that wasn't mine, it would probably be that."
