Alan Jackson is one of my favorite "newer" country singers. I love that he doesn't have a "stage show" with all the flashy lights, swingin from the rafters, etc. Leave that to the rock and rollers like Tim McGraw, Garth Brooks, etc. I love my country pure and simple. A truely talented singer (artist) is much better than a singer that is more of an actor. Alan is one of the best I have seen and heard. George Strait and Brad Paisley are some of the best too. Personally, I would rather just go to a bluegrass show. LOTS of talent there... good singers and good pickers!
You'll enjoy ole fellow Jawja boy Alan though!
