He left field school to work and marital his high school sweetheart, Denise, wHO worked as an airline stewardess. During the early '80s, Jackson held down a series of leftover jobs -- car salesman, construction worker, forklift operator at K-Mart -- patch playing the local nightclub circuit with his band, Dixie Steel, and working on his songwriting. He caught his big break when Denise found country-pop asterisk Glen Campbell waiting for a escape and gave him a written matter of her husband's demonstration tapeline; Campbell in turn gave her touch information for his euphony publication caller, and the Jacksons picked up and moved to Nashville shortly thenceforth. Campbell's company suggested that Alan choose a twelvemonth and hone his songwriting even further, and so he worked more odd jobs -- including the mail room at The Nashville Network, addition some session singing -- earlier finally sign language on as a staff writer. By night, he performed in Nashville clubs and recorded an updated demo with songwriter/producer Keith Stegall. In 1989, Jackson became the first base creative person signed to Arista's new country air division.

He shot to fully fledged superstardom with the review, 1991's Don't Rock the Jukebox, whose title of respect track was an unavoidable figure one break that year. The record produced 3 more than figure ones ("Someday," "Dallas," "Love's Got a Hold on You") and besides contained one of Jackson's signature songs, the Top Five "Midnight in Montgomery," which told the history of a see to Hank Williams' grave. Also in 1991, Jackson co-wrote several songs with Randy Travis for Travis' High Lonesome album. With 1992's A Lot About Livin' (And a Little 'Bout Love), Jackson took his place as non only unitary of the most popular stars of his clock time, but too one of the c. H. Best. The number ane smash "Chattahoochee River" became another theme song air, and Jackson besides topped the charts with "She's Got the Rhythm (And I Got the Blues)," while grading tierce more Top Five hits from the album -- which became his first-class honours degree to top the state LP charts.

In only his fifth yr on the scene, Jackson was able to progeny The Greatest Hits Collection in 1995 and scored hits with trey new minted songs: a cover of George Jones' "Magniloquent Tall Trees," "I'll Try" (both identification number one), and "Nursing home." It took The Greatest Hits Collection only a twelvemonth to sell over trinity one thousand thousand copies.

Although Under the Influence scarce missed hitting act one, 2000's When Somebody Loves You returned Jackson to the top of the record album charts and gave him some other act one in "Where I Come From." That yr, he likewise teamed up with George Strait for the twosome "Off on Music Row," a vociferous defense of traditional commonwealth in the face of a new wave of crossover voter stars.
The twelvemonth 2001 brought an tremendous hit in "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)," a touching endeavour to make sense of the wake of September 11; rush-released later on an awards-show premiere, the song dynasty rocketed to the top of the land charts and too became his first gear single to crack the pop Top 30. It was followed by the full-length Drive in 2002, which spawned some other act one in "Drive (For Daddy Gene)," a tribute to Jackson's recent padre. The record album was Jackson's seventh to top the country charts, and it besides became his first to spinning top the pour down charts.
