American Songwriter by Andrew Lehey
At 13 years old, Rachel Farley was opening shows for Brantley Gilbert. Five years later, she’s making her own way to headliner status with singles like “Midnight Road,” an autobiographical country rocker about young love, late nights and the thrill of the open highway.
“This song is about that exciting and awkward feeling you get when you’re with somebody and [the relationship is] kind of at the turning point of whether it’s becoming something or not,” says Farley, who wrote the song with Nashville songwriters Ross Copperman and Heather Morgan. “Ross had this really cool, haunting track that he was building on his Mac, and that really inspired the melody. Heather threw out the title “Midnight Road,” which we all thought was super cool. Everybody really brought a lot to the table on this collaboration, and we were all pretty stoked about the final outcome.”

“When I first heard this song we were already done looking for material for this last record, but I just loved it and thought it was worth making room for,” said Aldean. “It seems so crazy to say that this is my 12th #1 – I promise you each one is just as sweet as the first one.”
The Macon, GA native recently announced plans to release the live concert film NIGHT TRAIN TO GEORGIA on Oct. 15. Filmed this past April at the University of Georgia’s Sanford Stadium, the piece captures Aldean and a sold out crowd of over 66,000 fans making history with the first concert ever held “between the hedges.” A TackleBox Films production, the piece was produced by Shaun Silva, Ivan Dudensky and Don Lepore.
