Alan Jackson Tickets Information

Alan Eugene Jackson - born on October 17, 1958 in Newnan, Georgia is an American country music singer and lyricist, who became one of the best-selling country musicians in the 90s.

Earlier He worked in The Nashville Network's mailroom. Jackson's wife Denise got him introduced to Glen Campbell, who helped him in starting his music career. His first album, 1989's Here in the Real World, was a knockout, as was his second album (1991), Don't Rock The Jukebox. A Lot About Livin' (And a Little 'Bout Love) released in 1992, was a smash success, spawning five major singles with "Chattahoochee" being the most enduring and successful. After a few more smashing hits, Jackson again rose to glory with "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)," a song depicting the tragic 9/11 incident which became a hit single and eventually pushed him into the limelight. He introduced the song at the Country Music Association Awards (2001).

Though Jackson has been typified as a commercialized "hat act", his influences go deep into the roots of country music and his songs have been recorded by stars like Charley Pride, who recorded "Here In The Real World". He has sung with George Jones on the award-winning "I Don't Need Your Rockin' Chair," "Just Playin' Possum," and "A Good Year for the Roses." His sense of humor comes through in "Gone Country" with the ironic portrayal of the wannabes who sardonically jumped in the world of country music during the 90s. He has been credited for introducing a Neo-traditional Country sound. After pop music became popular in the 2000s, he and George Strait criticized the state of country music on Music Row.

Jackson married his high-school sweetheart Denise on December 15, 1979 & is the father of three daughters: Mattie Denise (born June 19, 1990), Alexandra Jane (born August 23, 1993), and Dani Grace (born August 28, 1997).

Alan Jackson's band since 1989 is "The Strayhorns., which includes Danny Groah - Lead Guitar,Robbie Flint - Steel Guitar, Mark McClurg Fiddle, Monty Allen - Acoustic Guitar, Harmony Vocals, Tony Stephens - Piano, Harmonica, Acoustic Guitar, Harmony Vocals, Roger Wills - Bass guitar and Bruce Rutheford on Drums.

Alan has written a few songs for other artists, including "Forever Together", "Better Class of Losers", and "I'd Surrender All" (recorded and co-written by Randy Travis), as well as "I Can't Do That Anymore" (recorded by Faith Hill).

Alan has ruled over the world of traditional country and since 1989, has sold over 45 million records, recorded 31 hit numbers, out of which 21 he composed. He has won around 95 Country Music Association, Academy of Country Music, Grammy, ASCAP, American Music, Billboard and other industry awards and holds the record for most Country Music Association nominations.

People have described Alan Jackson as being of the six strings, three chords and the truth country tradition. Here, it would be fair to add 88 keys to the equation, as there are many, many keyboard tracks: piano, Fender Rhodes, Hammond B-3, Wurlitzer and Clavinet. Those familiar with the extended reach of Nashville-based eclecticism will also take note of the community on record, which includes Ms. Krauss, Viktor Krauss, Jerry Douglas, Kenny Vaughan, Howard Levy, Bernard Purdie, Michael McDonald, Joey Miskulin, Sam Bush, Dan Tyminski, Lee Ann Womack, Gordon J. Mote, Jim Cox, Ron Block, Richard Sterban and others. Of the music they assembled to record, only one of the thirteen cuts was composed by Mr. Jackson, and it, A Woman's Love, is a re-release. Rather, here he predominantly internalizes and interprets, as much collaborator as principal to the writers and musicians, producer and process. (Other individuated country narratives include Willie Nelson's take on Blue Eyes Cryin In The Rain, Hank Williams on Lost Highway, and in fact much of the entire rural-oral tradition itself). As example, hear Alan's version of Leon Russell's Bluebird.

Commenting on her combined album with Alan, Alison Krauss says I have more respect for him now than I could have imagined just by how unbelievably talented he is, says Alison, a noted vocalist in her own right. I feel like I learned more about singing just in those five months working with him than I have in I don't know how many years. I compare working on this to how I felt when I was a teenager and really getting into music and how that was all you thought about, she adds. It was a dream to work with that voice.

Alan remarks I really have to give her credit for this whole concept and the whole sound,. She [Alison] knew what it was going to sound like. To Alan, the results of their collaboration are an album that you put on in the evening when you and your spouse are having a glass of wine and you can just sit back and listen.

Like Red on a Rose, the title track from the album, symbolizes the sound Alan describes. I loved the sentiments, and the lyrics and the whole feel a waltz and such a haunting melody. It's so pretty. Alison thought of the song immediately once the album concept formed in her mind she'd known it for years, but never felt that she was the person who should give voice to it. The words are so positive and romantic and the chords are very passionate, she says. He is just incredibly gifted.

Undoubtedly, country music would never have been better without alan Jackson's lyrics and compostion.
