Billster Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Came with a car attached. So we bought a brand new used car on Tuesday. Need to go back to the dealer in a few days to get the permanent registration, so we want to check out the features, and make sure everything works right in case anything needs to be remedied when we go back. I say to the Mrs. this morning, "take a CD and make sure the player works right." Later this morning, she calls me on the phone and says, "hey, there was already a disc in the player - who's Alan Jackson?" I don't know what album it is, but to all y'all country music fans, what should I hope for? And with my Emmylou Harris poll, I guess this makes it Official Country Music Day. Buy my CD on CD Baby!

Guitar Geezer Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 - who's Alan Jackson?" At least you got a good one.... Alan probably has about as many CMA awards as George Strait Lynn G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedster Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 I like Alan Jackson, and a lot of today's current shitkickin' music. Especially the stuff that's got some humor thrown in, which Jackson does quite frequently. Also, some damn fine pickers out there. I need to become more country-savvy in my playing. A lot of good licks. "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billster Posted September 2, 2004 Author Share Posted September 2, 2004 Originally posted by LeftyBlues: Forget the country music nonsense - what car did you buy? Those Bentley's are really sweet....A 2000 Acura TL. We decided it had a great reliability reputation, best remaining warranty (in case that reliability thing is a myth), and good size and features. Primarily for the wife, after what happened to the last car (head-on collision) I feel good sending her into the freeway battlezone with many, many airbags on board. Buy my CD on CD Baby!

fantasticsound Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Alan Jackson is, perhaps, the greatest country artist of the past 20 years. He's written many of the best country songs of the past 20 years. Performed most of them, too. Recorded a better catalog, IMO, than Reba or anyone in the genre in the same period. Has a wonderful, clear voice. He crosses the lines of traditional and modern country with seeming ease. So which album did you find, Billster? What songs are on it? I'm used to listening to several of the greatest hits albums. It's easiest to find me on Facebook. Neil Bergman Soundclick fntstcsnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BriBaby Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Since this is turning into an Alan Jackson post, I would have to say that the guitarist he uses is one of the hottest pickers to be heard.

Steve LeBlanc Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 I like Alan Jackson, saw him live a few times in the mid-90s. I wouldn't go as far as saying he's the greatest country artist of the past 20 years but he's good and always hires a good band http://www.youtube.com/notesleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revolead Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Well, since we are now talking about country music. Does anyone else like anyone besides Alan Jackson? My favorite country artists would be Toby Keith, Faith Hill, and Garth Brooks. Shut up and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Brent Mason)Brent Mason does a lot of people's albums. He was on Toby Keith's Dream Walkin', which is probably my favorite country album. I was never so much into Alan Jackson, but now that I know he uses the same guitarist, I might have to check him out sometime. Shut up and play.

Alan Jackson is the real deal. Great writer, great country voice, the best musicians in country music, no strutting around like the pretty boys of modern country and no bullshit like whoever said TOBY KEITH? Puke. I am literally throwing up. Oh... my... gawd. (Sorry, JMO) Alan Jackson never records a bad song. They are all fantastic cuts. Amazing. And... he writes.
