Jerrod Niemann Goes on a ‘Light’ Diet

Jerrod Niemann is planning a party. The singer who recently toppled Lady Antebellum from their No.1 perch on Billboard's country album chart -- a position the band held for six months -- is making preparations to take his show on the road. And he plans on keeping things "light."

"I already started taking my vitamins," Jerrod tells Nashville's Tennessean newspaper. "My original plan was to find an IV drip with vitamins and water, but now I've decided I want my IV drip to be Bud Light."

No one was more surprised than Jerrod to see his CD, 'Judge Jerrod & The Hung Jury,' reach No.1. But the Kansas native, who is signed to Brad Paisley's Sea Gayle label, says the one person he thought would buy his album was less than pleased. "We definitely weren't expecting that. We were hoping some people besides my mom would pick up a copy," Jerrod admits. "When my mom heard the record she said that it confirmed I was still in my terrible twos."

The album, which includes humorous stories and funny song introductions, was attention-getting enough to also reach No. 7 on Billboard's all-genre album chart. Jerrod is currently performing several solo dates, as well as planning shows with Randy Houser and Gary Allan.
