Alan Jackson is putting the finishing touches on his new album, Good Time, due March 4, 2008, and featuring his self-penned current single, "Small Town Southern Man."
After releasing two chart-topping albums in 2006 — the multi-award winning inspirational collection, Precious Memories and the Grammy-nominated Like Red on a Rose — Alan shifts his focus to songwriting; for the first time, he wrote every song on the new disc.
The video for "Small Town Southern Man" was shot last week by award-winning director Roman White and will be coming to GAC soon. Other songs on the new album include "Sissy's Song," inspired by a friend of Alan's who passed away, the nostalgic "1976," and "Country Boy," about the joys of being just that. Good Time reunites Alan with longtime producer Keith Stegall, who produced or co-produced all but one of his previous albums.
Alan recently made a guest appearance in the White House's annual "Barney Cam" holiday video, in which President Bush's Scottish Terrier aspires to become a junior park ranger. Alan appears in a dream sequence, saying, "Junior park ranger? Okay, Barney, now you've gone country." The video can be seen at whitehouse.gov/barney.
