‘Mr. Saturday Night’ marks the 4th Album from the Multi-Platinum certified hardcore, West Coast / Lone Star Country phenomenon JON PARDI. With a pair of No 1 Country Album debuts – ‘Heartache Medication’ and his sophomore ‘California Sunrise’ – Pardi has refined and defined a country sound that’s long on punch, power and the kind of honkytonk that gets people drinking, dancing and drowning their heartaches.
Those heartaches drive ‘Mr. Saturday Night’, a deep dive into good-timing to get over a break-up, bust up or any other bit of rancid luck. Pardi embraces western swing, breezy California midtempos, bar-room shuffles, an erotic slow burn – or two, Bakersfield hell-raisers and a couple of ballads to show a more mature side of the guy who’s been championing all the styles of juke joint music since earning ACM new Male Vocalist of the Year in 2016 and CMA Best New Artist in 2017.
Three years in the making, Pardi’s focus remains conveying the strongest emotions, while pushing the boundaries of what good time songs can do and staying true to the man acclaimed by the New York Times, Variety and Rolling Stone’s sense of what County is.
Jon Pardi makes what hurts so bad so much fun – and in a world gone mad, that’s a pretty good card to have up your sleeve…..
