For a quarter of a century, Alan Jackson has held tight to the tenets of traditional country music, releasing his 15th studio LP, Angels and Alcohol, earlier this year. His second for Alan’s Country Records/EMI Nashville, the album was his 14th Number One. Now, the Georgia native’s former label, Arista Nashville, and Legacy Recordings are readying a career-spanning three-CD set for release early next month. Genuine: The Alan Jackson Story, which will mix classic hits and rarities, including eight previously unreleased tracks, will be available exclusively through Walmart beginning Friday, November 6th.
A vast collection of 59 key cuts from throughout Jackson’s towering career, the package includes a previously unavailable live version of Steve Young’s “Seven Bridges Road” (made famous by the Eagles) recorded in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1997. Other rarities include a live rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner,” recorded in 2001, “Born Too Late,” “If Tears Could Talk” and “Love Is Hard.”
