Highway Desperado is the eleventh studio album by American country music singer Jason Aldean, released on November 3, 2023 via Broken Bow Records. It was preceded by the lead single "Try That in a Small Town", which was released in May 2023 and has topped the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, as well as the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, becoming Aldean's first chart-topper on the latter chart. Three other songs, "Tough Crowd", "Let Your Boys Be Country",[1] and "Whiskey Drink" were also released ahead of the album. "Let Your Boys Be Country" was released as the second single from the album.[2]

Aldean co-wrote three of the album's fourteen tracks, making it his first album since 2009's Wide Open to contain tracks that he has written or co-written.[1]
