"Although this CD is dedicated to my Dad, I hope it speaks to everyone who has had a mentor like he was to me," says Tippin. "I am grateful to Cracker Barrel for believing in me and this music. I am honored to partner up with Cracker Barrel on this project that is so dear to my heart."

Tippin and wife Thea wrote several of the recently recorded songs on this record, including He Believed. The song is a touching story inspired by the unexpected death of Aaron's father in 2005. He Believed also features six of Aaron’s top recordings including "Working Man's PHD," "Whole Lotta Love On The Line" and "I Got It Honest."

"Cracker Barrel is pleased to work with an artist who shares our opinion that integrity and being of service to others is important," says Peter Keiser, Cracker Barrel's Vice President of Marketing. "Working with Aaron on this very special CD project has been an honor and a pleasure."

In the last year, Cracker Barrel has released exclusive recordings by Alabama, Lonestar, Josh Turner and Merle Haggard.
