Alan Jackson
Biography
Born October 17 1958, Newman, Georgia, USA. Jackson, the son of
a motor mechanic, had a love of gospel music through church and
his family. His roots can be heard in "Home" (written
for Mother's Day), "Chattahoochee" and his tribute to Hank Williams,
"Midnight In Montgomery". He has also
revived several songs from his youth including Eddie Cochran's
"Summertime Blues" and a joint composition from Roger
Miller and George Jones, "Tall Tall Trees". Jackson
worked in various trades before moving to Nashville in 1986,
with his wife Denise, to try and succeed as a country performer. |

Alan Jackson Info
| Georgia singer/songwriter Alan Jackson
was a member of the legendary "Class of '89", which also
included Garth Brooks, Clint Black, and Travis Tritt. Among his
peers Jackson stands apart because of his songwriting talent (Randy
Travis and Faith Hill have had hits with his songs), and because he
plays a more traditional brand of country, with a style strongly
influenced by George Jones, Merle Haggard and Hank Williams. |
