Jon Pardi is getting ready to release his new album, Mr. Saturday Night, next Friday (September 2nd). The title track, written by Benjy Davis, Reid Isbell and Joe Ragosta,  is a neon-tinged, quintessentially country play on words. The slow-rolling track juxtaposes the high-spirited life of the party, with the desolate guy who goes home to face what he’s lost.

“’Mr. Saturday Night,’ well, it’s a great song. It’s kind of a sad song, but it’s happy. It’s one of the happiest sad songs that I think everybody’s gonna dig, and you can sing along with it and you can dance, and it’s got a really cool sound to it.”

Mr. Saturday Night follows Pardi’s critically acclaimed, ACM and CMA Album of The Year-nominated Heartache Medication. Tapping some of Nashville’s most esteemed songwriters for the forthcoming project, Pardi has teamed up again with Bart Butler and Ryan Gore to produce Mr. Saturday Night. Including Top 10-and-climbing single “Last Night Lonely,” the album boasts 14 songs steeped in losing, a little loving and what’s in between. The California-born honky-tonker digs beneath the surface in new ways, returning the genre to an era of buckle-polishing dancefloor encounters, yowling bar-room revelers and the occasional strong, silent type ballad.
