JON LANGSTON RELEASES HIS DEBUT ALBUM, HEART ON ICE.

JON LANGSTON RELEASES HIS DEBUT ALBUM, HEART ON ICE.
Artist
Jon Langston

Jon Langston releases his debut album, Heart On Ice, today (September 8th). Infusing Jon’s country-radio roots with a fresh electricity, the project tracks his evolution, weaving a bold sense of maturity through its 14 songs.

Produced by Jody Stevens – along with Jacob Rice and Brad Wagner on select tracks – Langston co-wrote 11 songs from the album, including the poignant tribute to his grandfather, “Granddaddy’s Watch” and “May Magnolia,” dedicated to his daughter. He taps Travis Denning for the rowdy chest pounder “I ain’t Country,” turns up the heat with good-time track “Day In the 90’s,” and showcases his knack for a romantic hook on songs like “Ain’t No Cowboy.”

The Georgia native says making his album was a therapeutic process for him.  “To be able to record this album, to be able to put these songs together was very therapeutic for me, not just going through life putting my heart on ice, but actually making this album was putting my heart on ice,” says Jon. “It helped me get through those struggles and through those mental barriers and walls that I had to overcome, and it really helped me through my life and helped me through those situations. Music is healing. Music is my medicine – I’ve got that tattooed on my arm – and it always will be. I’m just thankful I have music to be my outlet.”
