Jason Aldean's fifth studio album, 'Night Train,' is still rolling fast, but that hasn't stopped the star from looking forward to his next project. Aldean has confirmed that he's already working on his sixth record.

Newcomers Florida Georgia Line are riding high these days with a No. 1 album, a record-setting single in 'Cruise' and a tremendous debut on the country music scene, all of which have garnered them international attention and scads of fans.
