The Road
Co-produced by Lewis and legendary Nashville hit-maker James Stroud (Toby Keith, Tim McGraw, Willie Nelson, Chris Young), <i>The Road</i> follows Aaron Lewis' debut solo EP, <i>Town Line</i>, which bowed at #1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart in 2011 year. <i>The Road</i> contains ten songs, including first single "Endless Summer," which CMT has hailed as "the anthem of the Summer of 2012." It also contains the Rhett Akins/Dallas Davidson/Bobby Pinson-penned "Granddaddy's Gun," marking the first time in Lewis' entire career that he has cut a song he didn't have a hand in writing. <br><br>The songs that make up <i>The Road</i> mirror the country roots of Lewis' childhood. "This music and these songs represent who I am and where I come from," says Lewis, who still resides in rural western Massachusetts. <br>"I hope people hear the record and realize that this is all me," Lewis says of the songs on <i>The Road</i>. "I'm writing songs about who I am and where I am, just like I've done my whole career. The setting for the songs might be different but they're as honest as anything I've ever done."
