Relentless (Jason Aldean album)
Relentless is the second studio album by American country music artist Jason Aldean. It was released on May 29, 2007 via Broken Bow Records. The album debuted at number 4 on the U.S. "Billboard" 200 and at number one on the Top Country Albums chart, selling about 98,000 copies in its first week. On October 4 of the same year, the album was certified gold by the RIAA. It was certified platinum in September 2012. "Relentless" has produced three chart singles for Aldean on the Hot Country Songs charts. The lead-off single "Johnny Cash" (originally  recorded by Tracy Byrd on his 2004 album "Greatest Hits") and "Laughed Until We Cried" both reached No. 6 on that chart, and the title track reached No. 15 in late 2008. Thus, it is Aldean's only album to date to not produce a number one single. Critical reception. Ken Tucker of "Billboard" gave a positive review, saying that "every cut features full, guitar-driven production". He considered "Johnny Cash", "Back in This Cigarette" and "I Break Everything I Touch" standout tracks.
