Aaron Watson
Dec 7, 2014

BIG Label/Thirty Tigers artist Aaron Watson will release his hard-hitting twelfth album on Tuesday, February 17th, 2015. The Texas Country singer-songwriter will use the fourteen tracks on the project to celebrate the stories of unsung heroes who defy the odds through hard work and perseverance to reach their dreams.
Watson partnered with writer/producer Keith Stegall for the project, aptly titled "The Underdog." Watson and Stegall have created a storytelling album full of hope and empowering tributes to many of the forgotten heroes...including rodeo clowns. Watson himself even played the part, donning full rodeo clown makeup for the album cover. "The rodeo clown is a huge underdog," explained Watson. "He's up against a huge bull trying to protect these riders, putting his life on the line. Talk about an unsung hero. 'The Underdog' has taught me a lot of lessons. I'm excited about this record. To be fifteen years, twelve albums, and three thousand shows into my career and to feel like I'm just getting started, man that's a good feeling."
