About Alan Jackson

Alan Eugene Jackson was born on October 17, 1958, in Newnan, Georgia. He listened to songs by Gene Watson, John Anderson, and Hank Williams, Jr., and began to love country music. In high school, he started a band called Dixie Steel. In the early 1980's, Alan Jackson moved to Nashville with his wife, Denise. Denise met Glen Campbell of Seventh Son Music waiting for a flight in an airport one day and gave him a tape of her husband's music. Campbell liked the tape and hired Alan Jackson as a staff songwriter for Seventh Son. This was Jackson's golden ticket to the music industry. In 1989, Alan Jackson signed with Arista Records, becoming the first artist in their country music division.

Alan Jackson released his debut album, Here in the Real World, in 1990. The album climbed to Number Four on the Top Country Albums charts and contained the hit singles "Blue Blooded Woman," "Here in the Real World," "Wanted," "Chasin' That Neon Rainbow," and "I'd Love You All Over Again." Jackson's follow up album, Don't Rock the Jukebox, came out in 1991, and sold twice as many copies as the first. Don't Rock the Jukebox contained hits like "Don't Rock the Jukebox," "Some Day," "Dallas," "Midnight in Montgomery," and "Love's Got a Hold on You."

Alan Jackson's first two albums made him a superstar. His success grew and grew, as he produced a string of Number One albums. A Lot About Livin’ (And a Little ‘Bout Love) (1992), Who I Am (1994), Everything I Love (1996), High Mileage (1998), Drive (2002), What I Do (2004), and Like Red on a Rose (2006) were all popular with country music fans. Some of Alan Jackson's best-known songs include "Chattahoochee," "Summertime Blues," "Livin' on Love," "Little Bitty," "Right on the Money," Where I Come From," and "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere," which he sang with Jimmy Buffett. Throughout his career, Alan Jackson has received over 45 prestigious awards, including Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards, Country Music Association (CMA) Awards, Grammy Awards, and an induction into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame. Alan Jackson has also headlined several tours, including a tour in 1994 with Martina McBride, the 1995 "Fruit of the Loom Comfort Tour," and most recently, the "Like Red on a Rose Tour."
