My Take

I revere Alan Jackson for refusing to chase trends. Out of small-town Newnan, Georgia, he committed to neotraditional country, music with dirt under its fingernails, and never let go. Twenty-one studio albums, multiple CMA Entertainer of the Year wins, Grammys, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame mark a genuine giant, yet his songs stay unpretentious, voicing ordinary lives and ordinary prayers. What floors me most is the stubbornness: he trusted his own plain, honest voice while fashions came and went around him. When people talk about the real thing in country music, this is exactly who they mean.

Overview

Alan Eugene Jackson (born October 17, 1958) is an American singer-songwriter. He is known for performing a style widely regarded as "neotraditional country", as well as writing many of his own songs. Jackson has recorded 21 studio albums, including two Christmas albums, and two gospel albums, as well as three greatest-hits albums.
