Alan Jackson Here In The Real World

Today Is The Aniversary Of The Release Of Alan Jackson’s First Hit “Here In The Real World.” Twenty-two years ago today, Alan Jackson released his first hit “Here In The Real World!” This is such a great song and a perfect display of Jackson’s talents.

Alan Jackson Joins Hall of Fame

Alan Jackson Inducted Into Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. On Sunday, October 11th, 2011, Alan Jackson was officially inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame at the 41st Anniversary Dinner and Induction Ceremony. The ceremony was held at the Renaissance Nashville Hotel in Downtown Nashville, and Jackson was inducted by Capitol Records Nashville President and CEO and long-time friend Mike Dungan. In true down to earth form, Jackson shared some insight into his personal writing inspirations. “Denise and I packed up a U-haul and moved to Nashville and I didn’t know a publisher from a producer. I was stupid enough not to be scared. I have written songs about the ups and downs of married life, songs for the working man, a song about when my daddy died, when my first child left home – I just write whatever I feel. I never wrote a song to get a Grammy or Country Music Award. All of these things are just life and that is what country music has always been to me.” -Alan Jackson As a tribute to Jackson and his achievements, Taylor Swift and The Wrights performed some of his hits. Swift took on “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)” (which Jackson just performed live in Washington D.C. on the anniversary of September 11th). The Wrights performed a medley including “Good Time,” “Remember When,” “Chattahoochee,” “Don’t Rock The Jukebox” and “Here In The Real World.” Jackson has written or co-written 24 of his 35 #1 hits. Well done and congrats Alan Jackson!!

Alan Jackson New Video Long Way To Go

Alan Jackson Has Released His Long Way To Go Video. Alan Jackson has released his latest music video for “Long Way To Go“. The video was directed by Steven Goldmann and was shot at the Square Grouper bar in Jupiter, Florida. Jackson never seems to let us down when it comes to country music mini-movies. This one in particular is full of rain, margaritas, girls in swimsuits, poker, and a mariachi band…what else do you need?! “I guess I’m lucky – we get to shoot in some pretty cool places, whether it’s down on a beach or on a boat or a river or wherever. I’m good friends with the guy that owns the bar, so we thought we’d take the band and go down and shoot there.” – Alan Jackson Tags: Long Way to Go, Alan Jackson, Alan Jackson Videos

Alan Jackson’s New Single

Alan Jackson Releases New Single: Long Way To Go! Alan Jackson has released his new single, “Long Way To Go”, to country radio! It is a fun song just in time for summer, just exactly what we like to hear from AJ. “Seems like every time you turn around lately, there’s just something heavy going on in the world, so I felt like singing something that was kind of light and fun,” Jackson said. “I hope some people like it.” He expects to release the album later this fall. Until then we have his classics (and some of my favorites) “Chattahoochee”, “Gone Country”, “Country Boy”, “Www.memory”, “Midnight In Montgomery”, “Pop A Top”, and “She’s Got The Rhythm” to keep us occupied!
