Jason Aldean compares performing in front of a big crowd with being on a high.

The country star tells Country Aircheck, "Being an entertainer is like being on crack. If you go without it for a little bit, you start freaking out."

The new set for Jason's My Kinda Party Tour features a virtual Kelly Clarkson, who duets witht Aldean on his current single, "Don't You Wanna Stay."

Jason shares, "It almost feels like she's live via satellite. She can't be there every night, and none of my guys even come close to singing like that or looking like that. So, we had to do something to make her part of the show."

Aldean's tour, featuring Eric Church and The Janedear Girls, kicks off in Little Rock, Arkansas tomorrow night at the Verizon Arena.

Additionally, Jason will appear on the cover of Country Weekly's February 7 issue which hits newsstands February 4. Fans expect him to share details on the new tour as well as other behind-the-scenes stories from his recent collaborations with Clarkson and Aerosmith's lead guitarist, Joe Perry.
