In a world dominated by genres such as Rock, Alan Jackson is one person who has contributed greatly towards keeping the tradition of Country music alive. Alan accidentally discovered his love for music at a very young age, and since then there has been no looking back for this man from Georgia, U. S. In a career spanning three decades, Jackson has composed approximately 20 albums, consisting of songs that secured top spots in the famous ‘Billboard Countdown’. Most of his works are critically acclaimed and have fetched him dozens of awards. He also proved his writing prowess by penning the lyrics of songs for other musicians, which went on to become chartbusters. Apart from music, Jackson has also voiced his concerns on various social issues. He slammed the growing preference for rock over Country music in the early 2000s through his song ‘Murder on Music Row’. This move made many people turn back to the traditional style. His experiment with the gospel and the song written in the wake of the World Trade Centre attacks were praised by a large section of music lovers.
