Jackson is originally from Newnan, Georgia. He previously worked in The Nashville Networks mailroom. Jacksons wife Denise got him connected to Glen Campbell, who helped him jumpstart his career. His first album, 1990s Here in the Real World, was a major hit, as was his second (1991) album, Dont Rock the Jukebox. His 1992 release, A Lot About Livin (And a Little Bout Love) was a smash success, spawning five major singles with Chattahoochee being the most enduring and successful. After a few more hit albums, Jackson again rocketed to fame with Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning), a song about the September 11, 2001 attacks, which became a hit single and briefly propelled him into the mainstream spotlight; the song was even the subject of parody on the popular animated series South Park, in the episode A Ladder To Heaven. Although Jackson has been characterized as a hat act, his influences go deep into the roots of country music and his songs have been recorded by some of the greats like Charley Pride, who recorded Here In The Real World. He has sung with George Jones on the award-winning I Dont Need Your Rockin Chair and A Good Year for the Roses. His sense of humor comes through in Gone Country with the satirical description of the wannabes who cynically jumped on the country music bandwagon in the 1990s: Everybodys gone country/Yeah weve gone country/The whole worlds gone country. He has been credited for popularizing a Neotraditional Country sound. Alans band is named the Stray Horns. Some of Alan Jackson Albums are : Drive (2002) Let It Be Christmas (2002) Greatest Hits Volume II And Some Other Stuff (2003) What I Do (2004) Precious Memories (2006) and many more He has received many awards like : Grammy sward for Best Country Song Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning) 2002 Entertainer of the Year 1995 All time winner: Single of the Year 2005 Album of the Year, Common Threads: The Songs of the Eagles 1994 and many more |
