Biography

Edit

Alan Jackson is a US-born multi-platinum country star best known for his string of Country chart hits, including “Don’t Rock the Jukebox” and “Chattahoochee”.

The Georgia-born honky-tonker Alan Jackson has remained true to his traditionalist values throughout his career, even as numerous trends have come and gone through Nashville. Jackson has the ability to sing about small-town life and Average Joe concerns without sounding mundane or preachy -- something that many of his contemporaries have failed to do -- and he has stuck to a core honky-tonk sound while still attracting younger fans. He is most famous for "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)", a post-9/11 song which he debuted at the November 2001 CMA awards ceremony. It quickly rose to the top of the Country charts, and won a Grammy and several other awards.

Famous musicians live in a topsy-turvy world, forfeiting privacy and reality for fortune and fame. They have many ways to measure their success -- how fast their tour sold out, how long their record stayed at the top of the charts, how many limos reside in their garages – but at the end of the day, there’s much to be said for winning a glittering award. An award is a tangible token of esteem, and there’s nothing like a public packed award ceremony to make a celebrity feel shiny. There are many back-slapping award ceremonies, which operate in a hierarchy of perceived worth, but surely one of the nicest is being given your very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has just announced the most recent recipients and they include musicians Alan Jackson, Bryan Adams, The Funk Brothers, Chaka Khan, Van Morrison, Marco Antonio Solis, Ringo Starr, ZZ Top and posthumously, Roy Orbison. The newest recruits to the star-lined streets of Hollywood join over 2000 of their peers in hardwearing, concrete-solid testimony to their accomplishments in their field; stars which will be visible for decades, if not centuries, to come. Well done to them!
