Preceding the release of Macon was the release of the single "If I Didn't Love You", featuring Carrie Underwood. The album's full tracklist was revealed on September 27, 2021.[3] Aldean said of the album, "Where you were raised has such a big influence on who you become, and for me it’s no different."[4]
Critical reception
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic, while criticizing both sides of the album for delivering only a similar sound and vocal attack to "Burnin' It Down", praised Macon by stating "By changing gears every so often, Aldean manages to give Macon a slight hint of a pulse." Erlewine also criticized Macon for its use of five live tracks while offering only ten new tracks, and drubbed Georgia for Aldean's use of AutoTune on the track "Ain't Enough Cowboy" while relying on his old tricks for every other track. He also stated that "maybe Aldean delivers what fans want, but he has no ambition greater than ensuring that Georgia is a relatively polished piece of crowd-pleasing product."[5][6]
