Alan Jackson is one of the few real country artists we have left. To much of country today is too poppy. His songs talk about real life events and experiences.
He's one of the last ones who got radio play time. There are a lot of "underground" country artists making amazing music, but you have to really, REALLY look for them.
He just did a really good interview not to long ago. About his health, his music and so on. And that there was a time where him an his wife were having issues. But this song was written for her.
Story time. Every year my mom's side of the family (10 siblings, + kids) has a big karaoke party. Big bonfire outside, beer, food, the works. My one uncle has a very similar voice to Alan Jackson and almost yearly would sing this at that party. 3 years ago he lost his wife to breast cancer. It was brutal. He sang this song again that same year and I swear to you, hand on heart, when he finished you could have heard a pin drop in a garage of 50 people. I will never forget that.
This is why country music musicians are some of the best in the industry. Love or hate it, the bands are so damn tight and on point. All the live music slaps like the album
From my humble perspective, Alan is one the most under-appreciated country artist of this time. He has major health issues now, so it is probably difficult for him to perform. It sounds like you maybe only "tolerate" country music, but you might want to check out Jamey Johnson's "In Color" original video, and maybe some of Alan's other hits. Peace, Love!
I 100% agree with you about Alan being majorly under appreciated! I just saw him in concert a few months ago in Colorado, and he sounded as wonderful as ever! The last of the great country artists from when country was country.
@@brendanfiolek682 yeah that was a great one, I remember when it came out, people were saying it was a remake but how good it was, actually Three Dog Night rewrote Shambala and that became My Maria, haha
One of the biggest country stars ever. He wrote this for his wife who was in the music clip along with all their home movies playing in the background.
I was in HS and was into metal and hard rock. I get into my friend’s car to go to lunch and an Alan Jackson cd was playing. From that moment on I fell in love with country music and the appreciation for music in general. Oh and of course Alan Jackson. It’s amazing what music can do. 👏🏽
Alan Jackson isn't exactly the type of artist that's going to "wow" you with vocal ability.. It's more about the song/message and overall sound. And that's okay. He's still one of my top favorite artists, and his songs are easy for me to sing along to.
AJ has a huge catalog of hits…of all types…I’ve seen him in concert a few times…wonderful live performer and such a great guy. Country Legend…and hopefully he’ll be continuing for many years to come and his health issues will not be severely debilitating. AJ 🙏🏻🧡💛
This song is my ring tone for when my hubby of 37 years calls me. It totally speaks about life!!! This song is about his life with his high school sweet heart and the life they have lived!! This is his wife in the video!!
I'm back again to say you absolutely need to react to big wreck! Ian Thornley is one of the best artists of our time (especially live) yet sadley one of the most under rated. I garentee your mind will be blown. I suggest "that song" "wolves" "albatross" "ghosts" so many
Rebecca This song always gets me teared up because his video shows when he and his wife were teens prior to be married. My nieces created a montage of their parents, my sister and brother- law on their wedding anniversary from sister and him being teens to married young adults to older married couple - time flies enjoyed life!
This is one of those songs that the words are more powerful Then the vocals, country music is all about the story & journey And this makes you feel deep into ur soul
There are several country singers I’d love to see you get around to in particular…but frankly, there are dozens and dozens of greats! It’s probably the one type of music that seems to convey the most…and I’ve been raised on everything from Classical/Opera, to Folk, Pop, Jazz, Soul, Rockabilly, the works. I’m 52 and I’ve probably seen over 700 live concerts…my five earliest were Elvis, Tom Jones, Bob Seger, Santana, Neil Diamond. Country, Folk and Soul seem to really dig deep! “Country” is often described here as “3 chords and the truth”. 😃 I love your reaction vids…you’re lovely, amusing and of course extremely knowledgeable about the vocal aspects. Keep knocking out vids darlin’…
i needed a hug....Alan is 6 yrs younger than me but this song bespeaks a similar history ....moving song.....i still speak with my first love.....we still revere our moments together, though she thinks i ruined her life....a clear over reaction
I just discovered you today and I love you! You are hilarious 😂. I love your comments and your style of critique. This song holds a very dear part of mine and my husband’s heart. ALL the lyrics describe perfectly our relationship 💓. I cried the first time I heard this song. My husband and I are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary this year 🍾🥂. This song … it just represents us fully 🥰🥰
Wow... this video is a living example of how sometimes, you just have to live through/with a thing to really relate to it. I'm a tired old man, born and raised in the southern U.S., and I can assure you that no one NOT from here will take this song the same as those of us that are. Btw, I grew up with relatives in, and involved with, the music industry... I've met a great may "famous" people... and in most cases, they're just my neighbors, or folks that live just down the road. ( Don Williams lived just down the road from me, 'til he died, and I've taken an elevator ride with Johnny Cash, once a long time ago. And a really long time ago, I was taken to Dolly Parton's home so a relative could conduct business there. ( 1967 or so. ) ) Anyway, the point I'm trying to make here is that sometimes, a song really does defy analysis. It's either something you "get", or you just don't. P.S. Rebecca... Alan Jackson's singing voice is not too far removed from his speaking voice. He doesn't have to "work" to do what he does.
Alan Jackson was my first favorite artist, since I was about 4 in the mid 1990's. On those days where I had to spend the entire day bored out of my mind with my dad in an empty car shop, Alan's song "Chattahoochee" coming on the shop radio would always be the highlight of my day. The other song I looked forward to during that same time frame was George Strait's "Carrying Your Love With Me."
That was his wife who was dancing with him. Someone I would love you to listen to is the 17 year old from the UK Lucy Thomas music. Her cover of Hallelujah has over 12 million views so far. Just got her new CD in the mail. This girl has a really good chance of making it big. Would love to know what you think about her.
Not every song needs a play by play…analysis…country singers just sing with their heart. They don’t focus on all the items vocal coaches pick apart. They just sing….
Alan Jackson is one of my favorite country artists. The life-reminiscent songs came in during his later years, which shows the span of his music career. The simplicity in his vocal outputs is what draws me to his music, and country music in general.
One of best singers in country music. Long and distinguished career. Love this song and this video. Love how he had his wife on the video. Leant to its authenticity.
I Remember When my roommate exposed me to Alan Jackson and other country musicians back in the 90s. It was a pleasant surprise to hear him again after all this time.
Alan Jackson was my first love of music. His ability to write a song and tell a story is one of the greatest in country. When the world stopped turning is one to check out. He wrote it about 9/11. This particular song he wrote for his wife after it came out that he had stepped out on the marriage.
Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee! You have to listen to Chattahoochee to hear him get loud, twanging and half-yoldelin. He's from not far from me, Newnan, GA. I got to go to a concert (flood relief) at the old Omni in Atlanta in mid 90s. It was Alan Jackson, Faith Hill, and I think George Straight and one other singer from GA that was coming back from cancer or something. I wish I could remember his name. I got the ticket stub somewhere. Regardless, a ton of talent and it was a great concert.
Found out my best friend died, went to the store to get beer and get numb tbh but this song was the first that came on the radio and I have never cried that much.
Hey Rebecca! Can you react to Baekhyun x Seomoon Tak - Hurt MV? Baekhyun is Exo's main vocalist ( you have already reacted to them) and Seomoon Tak is a well-known rock singer. It is a very powerful rock ballad with some great vocals from both singers. Thank you in advance! :)
We did a video of for my parents 50th anniversary and used this song with videos and pic from when they dated till right up to their anniversary actually getting them to do a dance a few weeks before to their wedding song and put it together WELL my dad never cries he had tears in his eyes & my mum was a mess it was so great!
Your to young to appreciate the depth of this song. My wife and I have been together for 60 years. I love her more today then the first time I saw her. This song embellished our life.
Alan wrote this for his wife Denise on their 20th Anniversary! They were high school sweethearts in Newnan, Ga and will be happily married 43 years in December! Try Tonight I Climb The Wall!!
I clicked on this so fast. I'm not a country fan, per se. But Lhm this song is gorgeous. I'm like, oh she's gon love this. For me, that mandolin and the slide just make it. What a sound!
Alan Jackson is one of the greatest and most legendary singers in music history. Not even gonna touch on his enormous commercial success.. I'd actually rank him right behind the legendary George Strait (Who is the 'King of Country Music' for a reason xD) in terms of renown, fame and skill. Unbelievably talented and like a good wine.. he just kept getting better and better and better.
Omg can you please react to JLo’s live performance of her song “ On my way” ? She performed it live twice, once for the global citizens show and one for the AMA’s I believe please
Love Alan Jackson ! Come on now, since you reviewed a classic country artist, remember I begged as little for Randy Travis - Promises ? You will love his unique tone. And we will all love the review😁😁
Alan Jackson is one of the few real country artists we have left. To much of country today is too poppy. His songs talk about real life events and experiences.
I don't really like country music but my husband does and he says the exact same thing about today's country music
I like country but like old country. Like 20 years ago before it beer poopy like you said.
Garth Brooks??
He's one of the last ones who got radio play time. There are a lot of "underground" country artists making amazing music, but you have to really, REALLY look for them.
Exactly right.
This song is perfect the lyrics and vocals are spot on!
When country was still country, you should check out whisky lullaby brad Paisley with Alison krass
You tryna make her cry. ;) It's sooo good tho
How about you're gonna miss this by trace Adkins
@@jokerpaisa4ever I think Traces voice will make her lose her mind 😂
That song hits me like a freight train
@@matthewwayne3896 me too man!! So many memories and emotions attached to this one
He just did a really good interview not to long ago. About his health, his music and so on. And that there was a time where him an his wife were having issues. But this song was written for her.
He had an affair while touring. It takes a special kind of bond to not only bounce back from infidelity but to come back stronger.
Story time.
Every year my mom's side of the family (10 siblings, + kids) has a big karaoke party. Big bonfire outside, beer, food, the works.
My one uncle has a very similar voice to Alan Jackson and almost yearly would sing this at that party.

@@brendenduncan8569 i saw him a year or two ago in Baltimore and it was such a great time
'In Color' is the greatest song ever written IMO.
The mandolin is what really makes the song in my mind... And the fan made "Up" version of the video is even more of a tear jerker.
Brad paisley i'd wish you'd stay gets me sometimes...we've all been there at some point
I 100% agree I could listen to jyst the mandolin a day
Yrsad I
SImply beautiful.
Would highly recommend Brooks and Dunn - ‘Believe’. Ronnie Dunn from the duo has a very unique voice that would make for interesting analysis.
there's already like ten thousand reactions to that song...
My maria was a good one
@@brendanfiolek682 yeah that was a great one, I remember when it came out, people were saying it was a remake but how good it was, actually Three Dog Night rewrote Shambala and that became My Maria, haha
Boot scootin boogie too😂
This song was played at my fathers funeral while they showed pictures throughout the years. I love this song but can not listen to it without tears.
A perfect song lyrically. Can’t add to it or take away. Just amazing.
The fact you are not selling skin is refreshing. Love watching your reviews
One of the biggest country stars ever. He wrote this for his wife who was in the music clip along with all their home movies playing in the background.
And for Rebacca, those three young girls are their children.
This song gets me everytime. I’m not crying, you’re crying
I was in HS and was into metal and hard rock. I get into my friend’s car to go to lunch and an Alan Jackson cd was playing. From that moment on I fell in love with country music and the appreciation for music in general. Oh and of course Alan Jackson. It’s amazing what music can do. 👏🏽
Bro same here I love cattle decapitation as much as the next guy but also love me some country

This song is about his life with his high school sweet heart and the life they have lived!! This is his wife in the video!!
I know looks arent everything but rebeccs truly is a total package ❤
Yes! Alan jackson makes up the majority of my country playlist!
Real wife and kids in the video. It's a song, not a singing competition. He's one of the best selling artists of the last 30 years in the USA.
This song is a tear jerker 😭
I'm back again to say you absolutely need to react to big wreck! Ian Thornley is one of the best artists of our time (especially live) yet sadley one of the most under rated. I garentee your mind will be blown. I suggest "that song" "wolves" "albatross" "ghosts" so many
My favorite is "Ladylike" especially after that epic guitar solo the vocals and the backup vocals. Chills 👌
His band thornley is pretty good also
@@realisticthought1781 agreed, Ian Thornley really does some amazing work
@@realisticthought1781 I'll check that out, didn't know he had another one. I'm new to BW
I sing along to all Alan Jackson songs, saw him in concert with my son before he died, so this is really special to me
Holy crap, a vocal coach reacted to a country song. Thanks a ton. So many don't...you're missing out, folks.
Rebecca

Not every song needs a play by play…analysis…country singers just sing with their heart. They don’t focus on all the items vocal coaches pick apart. They just sing….
Midnight in Montgomery was also a real good one too that shows off his vocal range a bit more. And it's another sad one😂
Agreed!
Alan Jackson is not only a brilliant vocalist but he is one of the best song writers in country music history.. ..
Rebecca - master of the raised eyebrow and knowing look! 😊
Hugs to you too. Love your videos so much. It’s nice to see someone that actually knows what they’re talking about. Thanks Rebecca.
Hello Rebecca! I would love if you reacted to Alison Krauss When you say nothing at all. I think you would be blown away by her beautiful voice!
I second that if angels could sing they would be sounding just like Allison
@@the0Redneck couldn't agree more!
The original was better, but yes this one is beautiful
@@wildcountry72 agreed. Nobody really talks about how great of a singer Keith Whitley was, tremendous singer!
He married his high school sweetheart. So talented.
Alan Jackson is one of my favorite country artists. The life-reminiscent songs came in during his later years, which shows the span of his music career.
The simplicity in his vocal outputs is what draws me to his music, and country music in general.
This country song has to be one of my favorites. As far as I am concerned, a masterpiece!
The country music lover and kid in me is grinning ear to ear watching you react to this amazing song 💕
We used this song for the slide show in Dad's funeral. Love, and thanks...
Thank you for reviewing this song. Your input is always good to listen to.
Thank you darling
Alan Jackson, I love this man, his music is so beautiful. He's one of my top 3 country artists. God bless him. A true country singer. 🇺🇸
One of best singers in country music. Long and distinguished career. Love this song and this video. Love how he had his wife on the video. Leant to its authenticity.
Hi Rebecca! I found your channel only about a month ago, but I love your content and your personality! I hope you have a wonderful day!
thanks honey :) welcome
another great one Rebecca! thanks!
I love your country reactions!

Wonderful video beautiful and Alan is a great singer thanks 😊, take care and stay safe Beautiful
It's that mandolin and steel guitar that elevates this song
Alan Jackson has a lot of great songs. My favorite song of his is (Chattahoochee) one of his upbeat fun songs.
Such a great reaction! I’ve been a fan of Alan since he came on the country music scene. He’s great 👏🏻🎤❤️🔥‼️

I really love this collab ! Rebecca, please consider to react to this song💖
Whiskey Lullaby is another great tear jerker
He’s got one of the sexiest country voices. Well, he’s a sexy man altogether. 80’s and 90’s country music was at it’s finest. Loved this. 💕
this song hits hard. we played it at my grandmas funeral in 2009.
Alan Jackson was the first concert I ever attended. I was 14 years old
Alan's Song "Home" or " Daddy let me drive" are both outstanding songs.
The song I s actually DRIVE (for Daddy Gene)
(slight twang) glad you are here for us Southerners boss lady
Hello, beauty! Glad to see you, us usial. :) ♡♡♡
As usual. :) ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
My favorite song by him is Stroll Over Heaven. That song is near and dear to me.

You review and react to some of the most beautiful music I have ever heard. Ur awesome kiddo 😊
A.J. is a CM superstar! His songs, from years ago, are STILL popular! Crowds sing along when one of his songs plays.
Great stuff as always. Hugs Rebecca
I love this song and love the video and I like your reaction to it and break down of certain aspects. Love the country reactions.
As soon as he says “remember when” you can tell she’s instantly in love. Classic country. Nothin better
Your to young to appreciate the depth of this song. My wife and I have been together for 60 years. I love her more today then the first time I saw her. This song embellished our life.
Thank you Miss Rrrrbecca... great reaction to one of my favorites! Has a different meaning at 47... than 28!
Remember when he first was on the radio...was a big star soon after.
Alan Jackson is beautiful inside and out. He and his wife are so precious together. This song is about them
Alan wrote this for his wife Denise on their 20th Anniversary! They were high school sweethearts in Newnan, Ga and will be happily married 43 years in December! Try Tonight I Climb The Wall!!
He wrote this for his wife. So wholesome.
If you like country and like emotional songs you should listen to Tim McGraw - Don't Take the Girl. Always brings a tear to my eye.
You're so PRETTY!! 😍
I clicked on this so fast. I'm not a country fan, per se. But Lhm this song is gorgeous. I'm like, oh she's gon love this. For me, that mandolin and the slide just make it. What a sound!
Hey Rebecca!! 😍❤️
Hi Big Pete!
One of my favorites as a young adult and still very nostalgic.
He is spot on omg
Many consider this to be the greatest country song of all time, and it is autobiographical.
Such a sad Song thanks for the Reaction

A very well written and sang song
Rebecca instructed the queen of the Nile on the true meaning of royalty.
Lol!!!!
Your hair is lovely!
I send you a warm hug from Sweden.❤
Great song, I love singing it. ❤️
Yep, classic southern baritone. Specially designed for ballads and love songs
Love Alan Jackson ! Come on now, since you reviewed a classic country artist, remember I begged as little for Randy Travis - Promises ? You will love his unique tone. And we will all love the review😁😁
