Jon Langston recently shared an acoustic cover of one of Jason Aldean’s biggest hits and fans are loving it.

Langston’s cover of “The Truth” debuted earlier this week across his social media pages. The clip features Langston accompanied by two of his bandmates performing a stripped-down version of the chart-topping hit.

“The Truth” was co-written by Brett James and Ashley Monroe. The mid-tempo ballad was originally recorded by Trent Willmon for his album Broken In, which was released in 2008. Later, Aldean also recorded the track for his 2009 album, Wide Open. After being released to country radio by Aldean, the song reached the top of the charts, becoming his fourth No.1 single.
