I can’t believe you have to wait until September 27th to hear Jon Pardi’s new album Heartache Medication. He had a few of us out to his house this week to listen to it, and it is SO. GOOD. And so very country – if you’re one of those people who complains about “today’s country” not being country enough, this album will make you very, very happy.

In addition to the title track, which you can already hear on our Nashville Now station (https://www.slacker.com/station/nashville-now), the 14-song album also includes a duet with Lauren Alaina, which was written by Eric Church and Miranda Lambert. Jon himself wrote half of the songs.
Right after the party, he released the album cover and track listing, which will have to tide you over until September 27th.
