Music review: Alan Jackson – 无毛视频榃here Have You Gone无毛视频�
Country music icon Alan Jackson is back with his first new studio effort in six years.
无毛视频淲here Have You Gone无毛视频� is an impressive double album filled with stirring tracks possessing the Georgia native无毛视频檚 tried-and-true formula of delivering heartfelt declarations of life, love and heartache.
Jackson opens the set with a yearning to go back to simpler times as described on the title track with Jackson singing, 无毛视频淭he songs from your memory I cling to today/I won无毛视频檛 let them leave me, I won无毛视频檛 let them fade.无毛视频� While the message seems to be directed at a lost love, I suspect that Jackson could also be referring to a time when artists such as Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, George Jones, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn and Willie Nelson ruled the stage.
As a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, Jackson faithfully maintains his traditional country style as opposed to much of today无毛视频檚 watered-down offerings.
Jackson drowns his sorrows away on a number of tear-in-my-beer tracks that speak to the loneliness of heartbreak. 无毛视频淲ay Down in My Whiskey,无毛视频� 无毛视频淚 Was Tequila无毛视频� and 无毛视频淲ishful Drinkin'无毛视频� highlight the fact that there is no substitute for the love of a good woman as Jackson solemnly confesses, 无毛视频淚 poured that bourbon in the glass/Sat down in the chair there by the front door/Where I watched you walk away there with my heart/And all I无毛视频檝e ever cared for.无毛视频�
On 无毛视频淚 Can Be That Something,无毛视频� Jackson aspires to be the one to bring comfort during troubled times as he sings, 无毛视频淏ut I can be that whiskey in your bottle/I can be that smile that takes away your tears/I can be the place you just want to run to/I can be that something to get you through.无毛视频�
The 62-year-old singer proves he still has plenty of gas left in the tank and can get a little rowdy on the guitar-driven 无毛视频淟ivin无毛视频� on Empty无毛视频� and party anthem 无毛视频淏eer:10.无毛视频�
Jackson gets sentimental on 无毛视频淵ou无毛视频檒l Always Be My Baby无毛视频� and 无毛视频淚 Do.无毛视频� Both arrangements were written for his daughters无毛视频� weddings and will certainly be signature selections during receptions for years to come.
无毛视频淭hings That Matter无毛视频� serves as a gentle reminder that time passes by quickly and to make the most of each day as Jackson proclaims, 无毛视频淲e only get so many trips around the sun/Some things matter some things don无毛视频檛/It无毛视频檚 up to you to choose which ones.无毛视频�
Jackson is scheduled to perform at Cleveland无毛视频檚 Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse on July 10.
