Top Ten Alan Jackson Songs

Many men claim they would not be where they are today without their wife. For country singer Alan Jackson, this is more than a cliche, it holds truth. Alan Jackson got his first major connection through his wife Denise who was a airline stewardess. Denise had met Glen Campbell on a flight and received a business card to Glen Campbell's publishing company. Within a few years, Alan and Denise were living in Nashville and embarking on the journey of success. I have always liked Alan Jackson's music. Here are 10 of my favorite songs by him.

1. I'll Try- A nice ballad about a man and a woman planning a future together and the promises he is making her. This would be a great wedding song. It is on his Greatest Hits album. Just a overall feel good song.

2. Wanted- Another ballad about a man placing a classified ad trying to win back the woman he lost. It is on Alan's Here In The Real World Album. This song received alot of play on the radio in the early 1990's.

3. Chattahoochee- I have always liked this song because it was just plain fun to say Chattahoochee. it is a nice coming of age song that takes you back to summertimes spent at the local lake or river. It was on Alan Jackson's second album.

4. Tall Tall Trees- This is another song that is fun. My mom dated a musician back in the day and he used to sing this song to her. I always thought it was corny when he sang to her. Everytime I hear this song I think of that and just die laughing. It is on The Greatest Hits Collection as well.

5. I Don't Even Know Your Name- This song is yet another fun song. It also teaches us the lesson that we really should try to control our drinking or face the wrath of waking up married next to someone who is missing teeth. It is on the album Who I am.

6. Drive- A feel good song about remembering the times the guy in the song spent learning to drive with his dad. It also takes us full circle with the character driving with his daughters. It is on the album Drive.
