It will come as no surprise to music fans that Alan Jackson
is, himself, a traditional country music fan with a
storehouse of honky-tonk classics in his repertoire. What
might open a few eyes is the fact that a man who is so red
hot as a songwriter today would pause in his career to tip
his hat to the songs of the past.
Under the Influence finds the much-awarded Jackson kicking
back to relax with his buddies in the studio. He says he
did the album for fun, without heed to commerciality.
Somewhat to his surprise, the executives at
Arista/Nashville have embraced the project as
enthusiastically as they have any of his previous works.
"The new country fans, including many of the people at
Arista, weren't born when a lot of these songs were out,"
Jackson observes. More...
Review about Alan Jackson knowing it's coming | Reviewer: Laurie
------ About the song Sissy's Song performed by Alan Jackson
Your song has hit a huge spot in my heart. My sister has been given less than a year to live and it's ripping me apart. Her cancer is agressive and we do not know how long we will have with her. When i first heard this song, I cried and I know that, when it does come time, it will be a comfort to me. God love you Alan Jackson - you sing from the heart.
My daughter passed away in a car accident. We are raising her daughter and we were riding in our van and my grandaughter started to sing this song with Alan on the radio. She said after the song,"That is sad about Alan's sister and he is also singing about my Mamma." I would like to think Alan Jackson for writing that song it really touches peoples hearts. Ashly is 11 yrs. old. She died 7 yrs. ago.That song is Beautiful
Thank You
Bonnie Bennett
We lost a 19 yr old grandson to Luekemia on April 25 2009.

This song was a big help to me and my friends this past week we were celebrating our last week as seniors in high school, and on June 1,2009 one of our dear friends was injured in a bad car accident and she was called to be with the lord above on the morning of June 2,2009 . We played this song at her candle ceremony that night and ever time I here it makes me think of her b/c the way we felt was in the first verse
“Why did she have to go
So young I just don't know why
Things happen half the time
Without reason without rhyme
Lovely, sweet young woman
Daughter makes no sense to me
I just have to believe."
Kim Shea is truly the angel and she will be our light. And we will miss here.
Judy's Song | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Sissy's Song performed by Alan Jackson
We were working on a KAIROS weekend at the prison (Briscoe in Texas) when my son and I were escorted to the wardens office and were told our Judy had died in a train wreck as she was returning from an errand for the out side team who did the cooking for the inside team and the 42 men in white we were ministering to. The KAIROS team decided to continue with the ministry in her honor. My son in law heard this song as he was waiting to enter the Church for her funeral and later his son bought the cd so I could listen to it. It has been a great blessing to me as it has made the pain less and less every day. God bless you for the words. Jim
(Kairos is an international prison ministry that goes back to the prison at least three times a month)

A big thank you to Sissy's song. My husband and I lost our son 11 months ago, so when we sing it we just think of him, and a Hunter,son, and brother. He was just 20 years old. We love to sing it outloud, and just have to believe that he flew up to deer heaven. We can see that huge smile, and i know he's saying sissy,mom and dad please don't worry 'bout me. Forever loved our son. Hunt on Jr.

my great grandma just died a week ago. i know that it was going to happen. the weekend before that happen i saw her in the bed at her house. i just can't believe that happen. so when i heard sissy's song it reminded me off her
My grandmother, who I was really close to. She's been like a mother to me for so many years. And, out of nowhere, she slowly gets more sick by the day. Wednesday, February 18, 2009 was the day she left me. This song was played at her funeral. It felt as though someone was ripping out my heart. Tears filled my eyes. I really miss you. And love her, dearly.

this song still hurts | Reviewer: megan
------ About the song Remember When performed by Alan Jackson
this song was my ex and my song that we first danced to and it fit us so well cause we broke up then got back together and he asked me to marry him and i said yes but know we are over and this song keeps a part of him with me at all times
Everyone has there favorite Christmas songs, so jolly & upbeat, and so it should be. But this song makes you really think about those who have less to give there children, maybe this year even more, with the economy so bad, & you do just wanna make it right for the children. This song should be played more often.

I really appreciate Alan and his wife's openness through his songs and her book. My husband and I relate as I was 16 when we met and 18 when we married in 1980 and still madly in love by the Grace of God with 3 great children. Is there a way to email to Alan and his wife?

My Dad just passed on to heaven last Wednesday and this song brings him into my heart every time I hear it. Daddy was a World War II veteran and the chorus is a snapshot of his life. Thank you, Alan Jackson, for a great song.
