More quotes by Alan Jackson
My mother kept asking me, When are you going to do a gospel album? And I've always wanted to do a gospel album. Everybody was going on about it, so mom started hounding me more.
Alan Jackson
I've always said that if you have songs on the radio and get played, you've got to have a tour to support that.
Alan Jackson
I didn't realize until I was older what a huge music fan my daddy really was, and actually that my grandma played banjo at one time, and I didn't even know that until a year or two ago.
Alan Jackson
I don't like politics, hypocrites, folks with poodles.
Alan Jackson
You think about people like Hank Williams, who stood on that spot of wood, and Mr. Acuff, and, of course, George Jones. And just about anybody you can think of who has made country music has been on that stage. That's what makes you so nervous - to think about the historical part of the Opry and how it's played such a part in country music.
Alan Jackson
Pour me something tall and strong, make it a Hurricane before I go insane. It's only half past twelve but I don't care, it's 5 O'clock somewhere.
Alan Jackson
If you can last until you're 40 years old, hopefully you'll be mature enough to figure out the rest of the years.
Alan Jackson
I've had several working-man songs that I like.
Alan Jackson
He's written some great songs. I thought that Blues Man was a perfect song for me to do as a tribute.
Alan Jackson
I'm hooked on my baby's love, there ain't nothing in the jug this strong.
Alan Jackson
Growing up in Georgia, I used to think people up north or out west were so different. They're really not. They're just regular people who live in small towns. They grow up and try to raise families and have a job and go to church and play softball. It's that way everywhere.
Alan Jackson
Faith, hope, and love are some good things He gave us but the greatest is love
Alan Jackson
Tonight I'm the designated drinker.
Alan Jackson
If you just do 50 to 60 shows a year, it's not that much time away from home.
Alan Jackson
You have to be tough-skinned and willing to accept criticism, and at the same time, just try to do music that you like and you are proud of and not just whatever you think it's going to take to get you on the radio.
Alan Jackson
Oklahoma's always been good to me.
Alan Jackson
I could have done a hundred songs, really. It was hard to narrow them down, because I tried to pick songs for the most part that actually did have some effect on me or influenced me in the past.
Alan Jackson
There's no hall of fame for that working class hero, no statue carved out of stone. And his greatest reward is the love of a woman and his children.
Alan Jackson
I think every album you have, especially if it's done well, you feel like you're competing with yourself.
Alan Jackson
A country song is a song about life.
Alan Jackson
