Alan Jackson plots more 'Good Time' shows
The country music veteran, who just finished up a run of Canadian shows with Brooks & Dunn, will kick off his next round of headlining shows May 1 in Laredo, TX. Jackson has 10 shows lined up for May, followed by a short break before he tackles a June 7 slot at the multi-day CMA Music Festival in Nashville.
Released in March, "Good Time" is Jackson's 17th studio album, and follows a pair of chart-topping 2006 sets (the award-winning inspirational collection "Precious Memories" and the Grammy-nominated "Like Red on a Rose"). The new album reunites Jackson with longtime collaborator Keith Stegall, who produced or co-produced all but one of the superstar's previous albums.
"Good Time" debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 chart, selling 119,000 copies in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The album's lead single, "Small Town Southern Man," topped Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart in March, giving Jackson his first No. 1 hit since 2004's "Remember When."
Jackson recently told the Canadian Press that he's come to expect a diverse crowd when he peers out at his audience from behind the microphone. "My concerts for years have always been real up and down about who's there," he told the news service.
"You know, it'd be an 80-year-old grandmama and a 50-year-old lawyer and a 30-year-old young guy and his family and little kids, five years old, jumping up and down. So I've always had this big wide range of ages and lifestyles at my shows and it's not any different now."
