Precious Memories(more) »rank: 216by: Alan Jackson
Our review: :A few decades ago nearly every country singer had at least one--often more--gospel albums in their catalog. Today, aside from gospel veteran Amy Grant, who balances the sacred and secular, and Randy Travis, that concept has long faded. For Alan Jackson, however, treating the musical past as present has been a way of life, as it is with these 15 timeless hymns from his youth. Recorded with just two acoustic guitars and a piano, it was originally a private Christmas present ... Detail |
Good Time(more) »rank: 313by: Alan Jackson
Our review: :Within his 2008 release, Good Time, a generous selection of 17 tracks, Alan Jackson sings of all sorts of times. Not only the 'Good Time' of the title track--a dance floor, barroom anthem with a hint of Chuck Berry--but tender times ('Right Where I Want You'), mournful times ('Sissy's Son'), lovelorn times ('Listen to Your Senses'), kick-back times ('Laid Back 'n Low Key'), even times of marital monotony ('Nothing Left To Do'). With his return to more traditional country, he channels ... Detail |

Greatest Hits 2 [Regular Edition](more) »rank: 1334by: Alan Jackson
Our review: :You don't have to get very far into Alan Jackson's splendid second anthology of hits before you're struck by how well the rangy Georgian has built his catalogue and how beautifully Keith Stegall continually produces his songs, filling the instrumental breaks with unexpectedly creative solos. While Jackson's choice of cover songs is usually inspired ('Pop-A-Top,' 'Little Bitty'), he's a deft writer, alternating his tongue-in-cheek, Sheriff Andy Taylor persona with his 'just a singer of simple songs' earnestness, lacing it all with ...

Live at Texas Stadium(more) »rank: 2930by: Alan Jackson, George Strait, Jimmy Buffett
Our review:Album Description:Mega-stars Alan Jackson, George Strait, and Jimmy Buffett joined together for the first time ever, Saturday, May 29, 2004, at Texas Stadium in Dallas. This must see concert turned into a party that Parrotheads, cowboys and the Lone Star State will never forget. With more than 120 million records sold, over 80 Number One singles and countless awards under their hats (or Hawaiian shirts), the superstars shared equal billing to showcase some of their biggest hits and fan favorites alone ...

Drive(more) »rank: 36229by: Alan Jackson
Our review: :He sings straight, writes songs without a half dozen Music Row hacks pitching in their two cents, and keeps the music basic. On Drive, Jackson mixes wistful visions with satire, sorrow, and eloquence, using old cars--'Drive (For Daddy Gene)'--to explore growing up and, on 'Work in Progress,' spoofing a woman obsessed with 'improving' her man. As usual, he explores love's joy ('When Love Comes Around') and anguish ('The Sounds'). His flair for thoughtful, evocative expression reaches its zenith with his classic ... Detail |

Like Red on a Rose(more) »rank: 28881by: Alan Jackson
Our review: :The idea of twang king Alan Jackson pairing up with Alison Krauss for an album of love songs might seem heretical to some, especially if they heard only the first cut, the adult-contemporary ballad 'Anywhere on Earth You Are.' But producer Krauss, whom Jackson approached to make a traditional bluegrass record, always knew there was a sensuous heart beating beneath his aw-shucks demeanor, one that would fit perfectly with the intimate repertoire, genre-bending musical framework, and virtuoso players she'd always chosen ...

Under the Influence(more) »rank: 41286by: Alan Jackson
Our review: :Includes CD, Case, Artwork!! Minor Scratches. Great Buy! Fast 1st Class Shipping!! :Alan Jackson, the 1990s' preeminent tradition-based singer, kicked up a fuss at the 1999 CMA Awards over the Country Music Association's cavalier treatment of George Jones. That same deep, abiding reverence for the past clearly inspired this collection of oldies, all of them Jackson's personal favorites. Many choices aren't surprising, such as the 1967 Jim Ed Brown barroom anthem 'Pop a Top,' Merle Haggard's 'My Own Kind of ... Detail |
What I Do(more) »rank: 9756by: Alan Jackson
Our review: :Swaddled in the usual twang and spiced up by Stuart Duncan's sparkling mandolin and fiddle, Jackson continues his endless exploration of joy and sorrow tempered by his guileless humility. As usual, his originals provide the most power. The joy of 'Too Much of a Good Thing' contrasts with the throbbing sense of loss found on 'Rainy Day in June.' Too cute and transparent for its own good, 'USA Today' pales (though the publishers surely loved the plug) next to the finely ... Detail |
