From Alan’s upcoming album, Good Time, in stores March 4. Pre-order at AlanJackson.com: www.alanjackson.com Superstar Alan Jackson is currently putting the finishing touches on Good Time, his new Arista Nashville album, slated for release on March 4, 2008. The Jackson-penned “Small Town Southern Man” is the disc’s first single, and after only five weeks on the charts, it’s fast become a country radio smash and the youngest record inside the Billboard country airplay Top 30. After releasing not one, but two chart-topping albums in 2006 (the multi-award winning inspirational collection, Precious Memories, and the acclaimed, Grammy-nominated Like Red on a Rose), Good Time returns the spotlight to Jackson as a songwriter, as well as a vocalist. The man who wrote 21 of his 31 #1 singles is the sole writer on all of the songs on Good Time, marking the first Jackson album to be written entirely by him. In addition to the title track and the first single, additional songs include the sweetly poignant “Sissy’s Song” — inspired by a friend who passed away, the nostalgic “1976,” and the joys of being a “Country Boy.” Good Time also reunites Jackson with longtime producer Keith Stegall, who produced or co-produced all but one of Jackson’s previous albums. Concertgoers are already getting a taste of the new music to come, with the album’s title track on Jackson’s recent concert set list.

Oh My Goodness. I’m so sorry. If you don’t mind; how did she pass?
–I’m so sorry about your loss. :’(
So many superstars are insulated from the pain of everyday life they come across as flatline. Alan Jackson and Martina Mcbride appear to me to be as genuine as the guy down the street or your lifelong friend. That come across in the music they make. I didn’t know the gal Mr. Jackson speaks of but feel terrible, see what I mean
Alan Jackson, thank you for this song our family recently lost a mother she left behind 7 children the youngest being 6 the only girl in the family. Seana was my mother in law she was only 45 and it was unexpected for her to be taken from us. I will always love her and miss her.
i had lost someone very close to me she was only 36 she had died from cancer and i will miss her forever
Alan, I am so thankful that you use God’s talents to help you and us get through some of the toughest times of our lives. This song like so many of your songs are about life and sometimes the unexplainable things that happen and how we can make it through horrific times. Thanks for not wasting God’s gifts and for sharing them with us.
Touching, ….sorry for the loss…i know!
xoxo Lindsay

ONE YEAR AGO, we lost the rock in our family. Our Sissy, the only girl of five kids, she was our Mom, our kids’ favorite aunt and a sweet young woman 41 yrs old. died of Leukmia. Dec. 5th Her memory and spirit live on inside of us. I had the honor of singing this song with my wife at the graveside service this Spring on a ridge overlooking the river and the Black Hills at our home in Wyoming. Thank you for this song, I love you Sis and I miss you so much!!
This song came from Alan’s heart and his sense of personal loss. It touches chords deep in my soul. It is a song as much about healing as it is about loss. Thank You Alan.
