Aaron Tippin is ready to rock.

That's right: the most countrified of country-music performers is changing his style. He made his reputation with such hard-core honky-tonk performances as "Working Man's Ph.D.," "Kiss This," "You've Got to Stand for Something" and "There Ain't Nothing Wrong with the Radio." But now he's trying something a little different.

Don't worry. He's still Aaron Tippin, and he'll always be a country singer. But his sound is getting a makeover.
