Product Description

CD Description

Anyone who earns a second volume of GREATEST HITS has obviously learned a thing or two about staying power and consistency of artistic vision. Such is the case with Alan Jackson, who appeared in the 1990s as mainstream country's alternative to the dominance of King Garth. His sound was still eminently accessible, but the faux-Springsteen drama of Kiss fan Garth's rock manque was eschewed for a more roots-oriented (though hardly traditionalist) sound. Things kick off nicely with the Cajun-flavoured smash "Little Bitty", then giving way to the introspective, fiddle-laced country ballad "Everything I Love". Along the way, there's the pleasantly chugging,upbeat "It Must Be Love", the much-publicised post-9/11 song "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)", thankfully absent of Toby Keith's contemporaneous jingoistic rancor, and the Jimmy Buffett-assisted party anthem "It's Five O' Clock Somewhere". Add a couple of unreleased tracks and a bonus disc of more obscure material, and you've got as good anintroduction to Jackson's work as his first GREATEST HITS COLLECTION.

5.0 out of 5 stars Country Music's Hottest Ticket, 13 May 2004
By Alejandra Vernon "artist & illustrator" (Long Beach, California) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
A terrific follow-up to "Greatest Hits Vol. I", this collection is a must for Jackson fans; it of course has his mega-hit with Jimmy Buffett, "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere", and there's a good balance between the up-tempo songs and the ballads. The musicianship is outstanding, including the masterful mandolin and fiddle work by Stuart Duncan, and piano by Hargus "Pig" Robbins.

The songs:
"I'll Go On Loving You" is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Written by Kieran Kane (once of the short-lived but brilliant duo The O'Kanes in the late '80s), the words and melody are superb, and Alan sings it with the tender soul of a poet.
"The Blues Man" is so lovely, so mellow; written by Hank Williams Jr., it has a simplicity that goes right to the heart.
Jackson wrote nine of the songs in this collection. He has a sharp wit and honesty with his lyrics, and a great melodic sense; some of my favorites are:
"Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)" is Alan's tribute to 9/11, and is a song that spoke words that were on our minds, and helped us heal.
"Drive" is one Alan wrote for his father Gene, and it tells a wonderful generational story.
"Remember When" is about Alan's thoughts on marriage, and is an exquisitely romantic, heartfelt finish for this marvelous album.

This CD of super hits was just declared Triple Platinum, and Jackson has recently become ACM's Most-Nominated artist...he's won over 80 major awards, and one listen to this fabulous recording shows why; as songwriter, singer, performer and musician, few in the history of country music are in the same league as Alan Jackson. He's a legend, and one of my favorite artists in any genre. The booklet insert includes all the lyrics, and total playing time is 70'29.

3.0 out of 5 stars A drinking song, 30 Mar 2009
By Ms. C. Greenall "Cathy G" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Contains the great track, 'Its 5 o'clock Somewhere' as popularised by Johhny Walker on Radio 2.

The words are brilliant and anyone who toils away all week taking hassle will identify with the sentiment of the welcome refreshment break for something 'tall & strong' because even though its only half past 12 - it's 5 o'clock Somewhere!
The rest of the album is typical C&W which is OK if you like that sort of thing..
