Jackson Gives Real Traditional Country Music

Review Score: (10/10)
Alan Jackson is country music. Pure and simple. You can always count on him to deliver real, solid, traditional country music. This CD, full of 20 greatest hits, proves that. Jackson jumps from happy, up-tempo toe tappers like "Chatahoochee", "Tall, Tall Trees", "Mercury Blues", "Summertime Blues", and a few more, to pretty, down home country ballads like "Here In The Real World"(which sounds like a song George Jones should really cover), "Who Says You Can't Have It All", "Wanted", "Home", and a slew of others. Jackson is a lyricist who tells it like it is. There is nothing fake or phoney about him. He's the real deal. His voice is crystal clear with a pinch of classic country twang. Many of his lyrics can be fun at one moment, and then serious and very truthful the next. His silly hit "I Don't Even Know Your Name" falls into the 'fun' category. Jackson has been able to appeal to both kinds of country fans. Hardcore traditional fans, and more modern type of country fans. He has been able to write and record songs that can please both at the same time. He's really the country music artist for the people. His music will most definitley be looked back on the way people look at George Strait, George Jones, and others. Country music would be at a loss without him. Hurry up Alan!, where's greatest hits volume 2?!.
