NASHVILLE, TENN. (November 14, 2007) - Rising country music star Jason Aldean will partner with retail giant Wal-Mart next month to provide fans with an exclusive original performance through its "Soundcheck" series.  A bonus disc will be packaged as a companion piece to Aldean's No. one album RELENTLESS and available for purchase in store and online beginning Dec. 2, 2007.    

A segment of the hi-def performance will be featured nationwide in over 3,000 stores on Wal-Mart TV throughout the month of December.   "Soundcheck" was taped earlier this fall in a Nashville studio and includes the Georgia-native's hit singles "Hicktown," "Why," "Amarillo Sky" and "Johnny Cash" and the current "Laughed Until We Cried," as well as exclusive interview footage.
 
Aldean's sophomore album RELENTLESS propelled him to the front lines of country music this year with impressive first week sales totaling over 98,000 units.  Wal-Mart chose Aldean to be featured alongside A-list pop acts Maroon 5, Rihanna and Fall Out Boy.

Aldean, who has been honing his live performance skills in bars and clubs since he was 14 years old, just wrapped a year long tour with superstar group Rascal Flatts.   Fans can catch Aldean headlining a series of his own shows in the coming months.   More details are available on www.jasonaldean.com.
