It’s hard not to ascribe some meaning to the title of Old Boots, New Dirt, Jason Aldean’s sixth album. Edging into his second decade as a star, Aldean’s boots are getting a bit worn; he’s no longer an upstart, he’s a veteran who could almost be seen as an institution thanks to his long commercial track record. Stars have less reason to take risks — why upset the apple cart if it’s still generating revenue — but there’s some freshness on Old Boots, New Dirt, which means the second half of the title isn’t just talk.
