Alan Jackson Carries On The Country Music Tradition

Country music singer Alan Jackson was born in 1958 in Georgia and got his first break in the music business when he signed on with Glen Campbell's publishing company as a songwriter in 1986. When Arista Records introduced Arista Nashville three years later, he was the first artist signed to the newly formed label. He first single, "Blue Blooded Woman", came out later that year.

It did not take long for the music industry to take notice of the former mail room clerk who has since gone on to release 34 number one singles. The Academy of Country Music named him Top New Male Vocalist of 1990. In 1991, Travis and Roy Acuff hosted his induction into the Grand Ole Opry.

The 1991 album "Don't Rock the Jukebox" was his second release. That album spawned four songs that went to number one on the charts, including the title track. The following year he served as co-writer on "High Lonesome", an album by Randy Travis. Travis returned the favor with a co-writing credit on another number one song, "She's Got the Rhythm (And I Got the Blues)" on Jackson's third album released in 1994.

He teamed up with George Strait to release "Murder on Music Row." The song was a commentary on their views of the state of the industry and lamented the disappearance of more traditional styles. Their performance of that song opened the ACM Awards show in 2000. He enjoyed mainstream success in 2001 with "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)", his musical tribute to the victims involved in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York.

His collaboration with the Zac Brown Band on "As She's Walking Away" won a Grammy Award in 2011. Alan Jackson broke ties with Sony in early 2011 and signed a contact with Capitol/EMI Records Nashville. He is credited with selling nearly 60 million albums.
