Alan Jackson born oct 17, 1958 is one of the most successful country artists of his generation. Jackson came to Nashville after his wife approached Glen Campbell at the airport and told him about her husband, who landed a songwriting deal with Campbell’s publishing company. That led to a record deal, and Jackson’s 1989 debut album, ‘Here in the Real World,’ scored several big hits, including the title song, “Wanted” and “Chasin’ That Neon Rainbow.” Since then, he’s landed an enormous string of hits including “Livin’ on Love,” “Gone Country,” “Drive” and many more. Jackson responded to the 9/11 attacks with a song titled “(Where Were You) When the World Stopped Turning,” which many regard as an all-time classic. He has won Grammy, CMA and ACM awards, and is a member of the Grand Ole Opry and the Georgia Music Hall of Fame. In his older he turned his attention to gospel and bluegrass music. One notable thing about Alan Jackson from the guitar side of things is he tends to always use Brent Mason for the guitar work for his songs. Alan is currently still alive but he has Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease which has made touring very difficult.
