When it comes to preserving the integrity of traditional country, few are as passionate or prolific as Alan Jackson. The singer/songwriter from Georgia has become the consistent voice of the hard-working man with a love for small-town living, even while making history as one of the genre's most successful artists. Whether it's dust-kicking romps, heartwarming ballads, comedic ditties or unifying social commentaries, Jackson carries the torch of Merle Haggard, George Jones and George Strait with authenticity and liveliness.
