Remember when George Strait delivered a stirring performace of Alan Jackson emotional anthem "Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning)" back in 2008?
It happened at the taping for the CMT Giants: Alan Jackson TV special honoring the "Good Time" singer-songwriter, renowned for blending the traditional Honky-Tonk sound with country-pop. The program, filmed oct 30, 2008, premiered on the country music channel two months later.
Seven years removed from the September 11 attacks at the time, Strait took the stage that evening to regale the audience at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium with Jackson's Reverent Drive single released in the aftermath of that tragic day. Even now, The Tribute stands as a testament to the power of the song.
Asked about the moving number a decade after he wrote it, Jackson recalled being as much a recipent of the track as he was its author. The circumstances behind the tune which first emerged on country radio in november 2001 certainly stood out in his mind as a serendipitous occurrence.
