Musician - Singer - Songwriter
Al Jackson is a musician, singer-songwriter who grew up in Maine, in the tiny little town of Bradley. AJ got his first guitar at the age of 16 (with 4 strings on it). He taught himself how to play guitar, bass, piano, drums and several other instruments. He wrote his first song at the age of 16, and to date, has penned over 200 original songs, many of which you will find on this channel. AJ formed his first band at the age of 17. He was an established wedding and event DJ for over 30 years, and was employed at The Zone Corporation, 3 radio stations in Bangor, Maine owned by author Stephen KIng. AJ and his wife Ronda moved to Georgia in 2015, and he's been recording his songs in his small home studio "AJ SOUND & RECORDING STUDIO". He plays all of the instruments and does all of the vocal work in nearly all of his songs, both covers and originals. AJ's songs range from Rock, to Country, to Contemporary Christian. Thanks for checking out the channel.

"All About You God" - (Rough Demo) - Al Jackson Original
This song (and this recording) came to life one evening in my little home studio in Maine. It has several flaws musically and is miles from perfect, but I wanted to archive it for posterity. Maybe I'll do a refined studio version of it in the future. It has a fun, catchy little chorus that kind of draws you in...and before you know it, (hopefully) you realize "It's All About God".
Again, please be kind with your assessment of this "very raw demo". Check out my other videos on my channel. Lots of covers and originals. Leave "likes", "comments" and "SUBSCRIBE".

This video was ripped from a VHS tape recording of my band "Secret Dreams" from back in 1989. We were playing a gig at Happy Acres Dance Hall in Alton, Maine. (a really fun place to play, by the way) The audio isn't that great, but it's still a cool archive of an awesome time from the past. I hope that you enjoy the video.

This is an old cassette recording from my band "TYME" back in 1983. The sound quality isn't the greatest, but it's an archive of a great band memory from over 40 years ago. We were playing a gig at "The Chalet" in Lincoln, Maine. (No longer in existence) Great times, for sure. The crowd was electrified and raucous all night long.

"Steal My Show" by TobyMac - acoustic guitar cover by Al Jackson
มุมมอง 585 หลายเดือนก่อน
"Steal My Show" is a song released by one of my favorite Christian artists, TobyMac in 2012. I love the concept of the song. Instead of spending our lives seeking the spotlight and craving the attention from others, we should get out of the way and let God lead. That's the crux of "Steal My Show". This is a very raw acoustic rendition of the tune, far from perfect, but it's a fun song to play. ...
How A Song Comes To Life- The Making of "Just Wait" - Original song by Al Jackson

Just wanted to show you how a song becomes a song in my world. This is an example of a raw concept evolving into a "Song" in approximately 72 hours. You will notice that the start of the video consists of only the melody and a little gibberish for lyric. The song took shape over the next day, then I hit the studio to lay down the "Demo". This is, generally speaking, the pattern for my songwriti...

Ob-la-di Ob-la-da -Beatles Cover by Al Jackson

This is simply a stripped down acoustic guitar version of the song written and released by the Beatles on their "White Album" in 1968. Paul actually wrote the song. The tempo of the song can be a little tricky without the bass guitar anchoring it down, but nonetheless it's a fun song to play. I hope you like my raw rendition. As always, I say "Don't expect anything close to perfection on my cha...

As I mention in the video, I wrote this song in 1977 at the age of 17. I have never produced a studio version of the song, so this may be the only version that will ever surface. I am in the process of archiving many of my tunes, using these videos as a way to preserve them. My songs are all published through BMI Music Publishing.

"I Love" is a song written and released by the great Tom T. Hall in 1973. It was one of a string of number one hits for Hall, and his most successful single in his career. The song was always a favorite of mine from the very first time I heard it at the age of 13, and one of the first songs I learned how to play on guitar. I hope you like this raw acoustic version.

"Grow Old With Me" - John Lennon acoustic guitar cover by Al Jackson
มุมมอง 817 หลายเดือนก่อน
"Grow Old With Me" is a great love song written by John Lennon, released in 1984 (posthumously) on the album "Milk and Honey". It's credited as being one of the final songs that John wrote prior to his untimely death in 1980. I've always considered this and "Woman" from Double Fantasy as being two of the best love songs of its' time period. As always, I say.. "If you are looking for perfection,...

This song was recorded in 1989 at the "Milford Days Celebration" in Milford, Maine. My band "Anybody's Guess" was hired to provide entertainment for the event. The audio is not great, but acceptable.

“Greetings from Peru! Very nice cover; congratulations!”

I was expecting It's 5 o'clock somewhere haha
IT'S FAKE!!! NOT TTHE VOICE OF PAUL MC CARTNEY,,
Can you do a lesson on this?
Beautiful cover! This is one of my all-time-favorite songs by George. Well done!
@@conradwesselhoeft9713 Thank you. It's one of my favorite songs from George as well. He sure is missed.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
💯💯💯
Yes❤❤❤❤
Excellent!!!!
Paul es el mejor baladista, autor de tantas canciones melódicas de gran calidad. Es el mejor compositor junto a su compañero John de los Beatles.
Great job ! Have always loved this song. Btw the lead singer / bass player is David Patton who went on to be the bass player for Alan Parsons Project !
So did Pilot’s guitarist Ian Bairnson (RIP). Cracking player.
Oh yeah.. Alan Parsons. "Don't Answer Me". Another one of my favorites. Maybe I'll cover that one???
Well, if that was a "train wreck", I'd love to see your perfect rendition!

Hi, did you know the Eagles music is risky to cover on youtube because lawyers are pursuing "strikes" against the channel covering their music?
I hadn't heard that, but I'm not surprised. Thank you for the insight though. AJ
I'm not sure why anyone would not consider it a compliment to have their music covered..for whatever reason. ???
