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've always wanted to make a bluegrass album.

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.

If you just do 50 to 60 shows a year, it's not that much time away from home.

I like to write sad songs. They're much easier to write and you get a lot more emotion into them. But people don't want to hear them as much. And radio definitely doesn't they want that positive, uptempo thing.

I've had to live with women all my life. I grew up with four older sisters, and I was the baby and the only boy.

The music business doesn't take up that much of my time. I probably should put a little more energy into it.
Alan Jackson
Image
Probably some of the songs I never even really listened to the lyrics. Half of them I'd hear off the radio and was probably singing the wrong words and didn't even know it.
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.

I'm hooked on my baby's love, there ain't nothing in the jug this strong.
Alan Jackson
Image
The older you are, I think you realize what you enjoy and what you don't need, what wears you out and what's important.
Alan Jackson
Image
I've always stood up for country music.
Alan Jackson
Image
I grew up with nothing, so whenever I got to where I could have something I felt like I needed to have everything I couldn't have when I was young.
Alan Jackson
Image
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.

If anything good came out of 9/11, to me, was that people were so cynical about the world - all you hear about on the news is all the bad stuff everyday, but what was refreshing to me was after that, you saw how many good people there are out there. For every one bad one, there's a thousand good ones.

I mean, my voice has gotten a little deeper sounding as I've gotten older, I think. I noticed that.

If you can last until you're 40 years old, hopefully you'll be mature enough to figure out the rest of the years.

It's a scary word, 'cancer.'
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.

Making music is still what keeps a fire going on in me.
