Alan Jackson born on October 17, 1958 is an American country music singer and songwriter. He is the one of the finest-promoting country musicians of the 1990s and has sold over 40 million albums with 30 number 1 hits.

Jackson is initially from Newnan, Georgia. He previously worked in The Nashville Network's mailroom. Jackson's wife Denise got him connected to Glen Campbell, who assisted him jumpstart his career.

His very first album, 1990's Here in the Actual World, was a main hit, as was his second (1991) album, Never Rock the Jukebox. His 1992 release, A Lot About Livin' (And a Tiny 'Bout Adore) was a smash success, spawning five key singles with "Chattahoochee" being the most enduring and successful. Right after a handful of much more hit albums, Jackson again rocketed to fame with "Exactly where Had been You (When the Globe Stopped Turning)," a song about the September 11, 2001 attacks, which became a hit single and briefly propelled him into the mainstream spotlight the song was even the subject of parody on the common animated series South Park, in the episode "A Ladder To Heaven".

Although Jackson has been characterized as a "hat act", his influences go deep into the roots of nation music and his songs have been recorded by some of the greats like Charley Pride, who recorded "Here In The True Globe". He has sung with George Jones on the award-winning "I Do not Require Your Rockin' Chair" and "A Great Year for the Roses." His sense of humor comes through in "Gone Country" with the satirical description of the wannabes who cynically jumped on the nation music bandwagon in the 1990s: "Everybody's gone nation/Yeah we've gone nation/The whole world's gone nation." He has been credited for popularizing a Neotraditional Country sound.

Alan's band is named the Stray Horns.
