Alan Jackson puts it in 'Drive' for more tour dates
After taking a short break from the road--during which he picked up his first GRAMMY® award--country singer Alan Jackson heads back out in March.
Dates for Jackson's 2003 tour are currently scattered all the way into late August as the singer-songwriter continues to support last year's "Drive."
The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart following its release last January, and held that spot for four weeks. The set, which moved more than 2 million copies during its first month in stores, was the No. 8 top-selling album of 2002 thanks to a year-end total of about 3 million copies.
On Sunday (2/23), Jackson took home the GRAMMY award for the "Drive" track "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)," a track that he wrote following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. He debuted the song at the 35th Annual CMA Awards. "Drive" features both that live version and a studio version.
"That'd Be Alright," the latest single off of "Drive," is sitting in the Top 10 on Billboard's latest Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.
Jackson, a Georgia native, has become one of country music's most bankable acts over the years, and has sold more than 36 million albums since his 1989 debut, "Here in the Real World," according to Arista Nashville.
