History

Alan Jackson held the line for traditional country at a moment when Nashville was drifting towards arena rock. A Georgian with a plain baritone drawl and a tall white hat, he kept fiddle and pedal steel at the front of the mix, kept tempos danceable, and wrote most of his own material in the vocabulary of honky-tonk: jukeboxes, small towns, work, marriage, memory. His delivery is deliberately unshowy, close to speech, which is what makes the sad songs land. "Don't Rock the Jukebox" states the argument outright, "Chattahoochee" is the summer shuffle everyone knows, and "Remember When" compresses a whole marriage into four verses. After the attacks of September 2001 he wrote a song about not knowing what to feel, and it became one of the few responses to that day country audiences kept. He placed twenty-six singles at number one on the country chart and entered the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2017.
