Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

He sings straight, writes songs without a half dozen Music Row hacks pitching in their two cents and keeps the music basic. On Drive, Jackson mixes wistful visions with satire, sorrow and eloquence, using old cars ("Drive (For Daddy Gene)") to explore growing up and, on "Work In Progress", spoofing a woman obsessed with "improving" her man. As usual, he explores love's joy ("When Love Comes Around") and anguish ("The Sounds"). His flair for thoughtful, evocative expression reaches its zenith with his classic 9-11 commentary "Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning)", included in both the studio version and the song's live debut on the CMA Awards. Non-originals, including the Mark Irwin-Irene Kelley tune "A Little Bluer Than That", fit the album's tone. "Designated Drinker", a duet with George Strait, is a pleasant vocal event, though it's rendered mundane by the quality of the other material. Yet again, Jackson zaps Nashville's fallacy that any recipe for success requires generous helpings of dated pop and rock. --Rich Kienzle

CD Description

'Drive' is the eleventh album from US country star Alan Jackson. 'Drive' is a collection of songs in Jackson's distinctive country style, and sees him joined by another country legend, George Strait, on the duet 'Designated Drinker'. Nine of the album tracks were penned by Jackson himself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant and simply from the heart, 13 Feb 2002
By A Customer
As always, Alan provides us with songs from his heart, full of simple, truthful feelings. Listening to this collection of songs, is almost living the feelings yourself. An outstanding album!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best country album I have ever bought., 20 April 2002
By A Customer
This album is everything that is good about Country music. There are the classic childhood and growing up songs such as 'Drive', the tearjerking 'Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning?' - his thoughts on September the 11th (not as cheesy as some I have heard), and the very amusing 'My First Love' about his car. There is a bit of every aspect of a Country song on this album, and it would be the perfect introduction for anyone wanting to get into Country in general, and Alan Jackson in particular. Excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely one of his best, 19 May 2004
By Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews
(#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Throughout his career, Alan has delivered albums of a consistently high quality, firmly rooted in traditional country yet managing to appeal to a wider audience – even sometimes including people who can't stand the music. Of course, I love country music and Alan has been one of my favorites ever since his incredible debut album on the Arista label, Here in the real world. This album is certainly one of Alan's best.

The standout track here is, of course, Where were you were you when the world stopped turning, about the attacks on New York and the Pentagon. Alan captured the mood of America and many other countries with this song. Close inspection of the lyrics shows that it is really quite a clever song – it asks everybody where they were when it happened, acknowledges all the victims, fire fighters and others involved, places his faith in God and admits to ignorance of Iraq and Iran. In the immediate aftermath, that's just what Americans wanted to hear. The success of this song ensured the success of the album, but one great song, however brilliant, does not make a great album. Do not worry - the quality of the other songs ensures that greatness.

Other highlights include the title track (about a father teaching his son to drive), Work in progress (an amusing song about a man failing to live up to a woman's expectations but trying to), Desperate drinker (a duet with George Strait) and First love (about a car that was three years older than himself).

The other songs are all brilliant, many of them exploring various aspects of love including A little bluer than that (about a man who has lost his woman to another man), Bring on the night (contrasting the tedium of work with the joys of love), The sounds (about a woman leaving her man), That'd be alright (about looking on the bright side of life), Once in a lifetime love, When love comes around (two songs about the joys of love) and I slipped and fell in love (about a new love).

Many people will acclaim this as Alan's best ever album. I'm not sure if I'd go that far but it's certainly a contender. With albums of such high quality, Alan manages to keep selling traditional country music in large quantities. Long may he continue to do so.
