Try tall, lanky good looks, a sly crook of the hat, long blonde hair and a mustache. Add a low-slung guitar that wails blistering licks. Include a large dose of traditional instrumentation, first-rate players, and an aversion towards turning country pop.Being an accomplished writer helps, adding well-crafted, honky tonk classics to the lexicon of country music. A slight Georgia drawl, a shy smile, and an elastic baritone. That’s about what it takes to sell millions of albums.As it turns out with most of Jackson’s albums, A LOT ABOUT LIVIN’ is becoming a sort of greatest hits compilation. Everything he releases hits the top of the charts and deservedly so. His songwriting and instrumentation is impeccable.Highlights include the award-winning, foot-stomping summer smash “Chattahoochee”; “Tonight I Climbed The Wall” with its timeless sound, transcendent vocal, and pining instrumentation; “I Don’t Need The Booze (To Get A Buzz On),” a yodeling honky tonk reading of alcoholic delights; “Mercury Blues,” a rollicking, hard-driving love song to his car; the blues-shuffling “She’s Got The Rhythm”; and the yearning “Who Says You Can’t Have It All,” where Jackson shares effective duet duties with a moody fiddle and sobbing steel guitar.Jackson sings a lot about livin’, a little ’bout love, and no one in contemporary country music is doing it better than he does. |
