Album Review: Alan Jackson, <i>Thirty Miles West</i>
Alan Jackson
Thirty Miles West
Jackson does so many basic things right on his new album that it’s tempting to award him five stars right off the bat.
The production is clean, his singing get in the way of the song, and those songs have complete ideas and actual structure. It’s the first mainstream country album in a long time that isn’t overrun with production tricks, or kicking up the loudness to eleven, or playing an exaggerated personality type that’s condescending to its audience.
Retro Single Review: Alan Jackson, "Livin' on Love"
1994 | Peak: #1
So catchy, so charming, and so full of little funny details that you can forgive him for ripping off “Two Sparrows in a Hurricane” so blatantly.
Retro Single Review: Alan Jackson, "(Who Says) You Can't Have it All"
1993 | Peak: #4
“(Who Says) You Can’t Have It All” is not just an average song of lost love. Rather, the loss translates into a certain resolution from a man who is the lord and master of his proverbial castle that has turned into nothing more than a lonely room with “a ceiling, a floor and four walls”, full of pictures and memories of the broken past.
