Jon Pardi is getting ready to release his fourth studio album, Mr. Saturday Night, on Friday (September 2nd). The collection follows the California native’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 his current No. 1 single “Last Night Lonely,” the album boasts 14 songs steeped in losing, a little loving and what’s in between.
“When the fans, when they listen to this record, I hope they go away with just another great record to listen to. Put it on (and) let it play from start to finish and rock out to every song,” says Jon. “I feel like emotionally the fans are gonna feel this record more than a lot of the past records.”
“A lot of these songs we’ve had on hold for two years, written for two years, one year,” he says. “We definitely took our time on this project and let Heartache Medication get through its final single and then BAM! Here’s Mr. Saturday Night. I love the title. I love all of the tracks, and I think everybody’s gonna dig it. But it all comes down to the song and the players and the production. It’s nothing crazy, but it’s definitely fresh for me and I feel like everyone’s gonna really love it.”
