官方新聞 Alan Jackson's "Good Time" Debuts At #1 on Pop & Country Charts 17 SONGS ON 17th ALBUM FOR AN “ESPECIALLY REWARDING” 71 MINUTES Nashville, TN – Alan Jackson’s GOOD TIME will debut at #1 on the Billboard 200 and the Billboard Top Country Albums charts next week, with first-week SoundScan sales of 119,151, marking his fourth album to hit the top spots simultaneously on week of release. You’d think that Jackson was a closet numerologist since GOOD TIME is his 17th album and contains 17 songs, all written by Jackson (a first) over the course of 71 satisfying minutes. The first single from the album, “Small Town Southern Man,” is Jackson’s 51st single, and has been steadily climbing the charts – it’s #2 this week. GOOD TIME reunites Jackson with longtime producer Keith Stegall and marks his return to traditional country after his critically acclaimed PRECIOUS MEMORIES and LIKE RED ON A ROSE albums. Songs include the sweetly poignant “ Sissy’s Song,” inspired by a longtime Jackson family friend and employee who passed away, the nostalgic “1976,” the joys of being a “Country Boy” and a rollicking duet with Martina McBride, “Never Loved Before.” Jackson is an artist by and for the people, and made this album with his fans in mind. "I felt like I wanted something that had some fun on it,” he said. But his writing is also steeped in eloquence and grace, and the critics are raving about GOOD TIME: “…a joy, well made and packed with the clever musical details that make Mr. Jackson’s best music so satisfying,” The New York Times “Especially rewarding,” Los Angeles Times “… one of country music’s true masters, the kind who can make life’s most mundane circumstances carry emotional heft and make it look easy,” USA Today “There isn't another male country artist of any age right now who can match him for what he does best,” CMT.com “Good Time is a potent reminder of why Jackson matters so much,” Chicago Tribune “This is another Alan Jackson record that will stand the test of time,” Boston Globe -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.62.10.194
