Hey all, just a head up! This was recorded early during our reaction journey in February when our recording setup was still progressing and we were dealing with some latency issues. This is why we did not have two separate headphone outputs (which we have now and will have on 95% of our reaction videos already recorded and ready to be uploaded!)

That is Alan's wife in the video, and his daughters, as well. This song is biographical, if you will. He and his wife went through a really bad stretch at one point, and their marriage almost ended. But they came together, and vowed that their relationship was important enough to save, and they are still together today. Alan Jackson is one of the good guys, as we say in the South, he's a good ole boy!

This brings tears tome. I’m 78 my wife and I been married 52 years. I can feel this song.

He has a special gift, of putting his feelings into words.

My all-time favorite Alan Jackson song is the one he wrote, immediately after 9-11..."Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning." He performed it for the first time, (live,) at the CMA Awards show, a few months after 9-11. If you check it out, bring tissues. It really makes you reflect on what the world used to be, and what it desperately needs to return to.

I believe the genius of Alan Jackson who by the way wrote the vast majority of his songs. He writes songs that are simple and personal to him but that we can all relate to.

At my oldest daughter's wedding, I made a special request to the DJ. He played this sing for me. I danced with my wife to this, she was crying on my shoulder by the end of it. That was 7 years ago. This December, we'll renew our vows after 30yrs. And this song will played.

Easily one of the greatest love songs ever ! That is Alan’s wife He is dancing with in video ! Absolutely beautiful lyrics

Alan Jackson is a great American singer & songwriter who blended traditional honky-tonk & mainstream country pop sounds. He has so many hits such as "Don't Rock The Jukebox", "Here In The Real World", "Wanted", "Chasin' That Neon Rainbow", "I'd Love You All Over Again", "Someday", "Dallas", "Love's Got A Hold On You", "Midnight In Montgomery", "She's Got The Rhythm (And I Got the Blues)", "Tonight I Climbed The Wall", "Mercury Blues", "(Who Says) You Can't Have It All", "Little Bitty", "There Goes", "Who's Cheatin' Who", "I'll Go On Loving You", "Chattahoochee" etc.

you guys have a ways to go to understanding country music. there is no hidden meaning. it's all right there in front of you. just listen to the words. i like you guys

Thank you for a lovely reaction. This song is him looking back on his marriage, their struggles and their love, so beautiful.

Always makes me teary🥰

Alan has actually made a few Gospel Albums. They’re very special & beautiful

This song is about their lives. They had trouble early in his career & split for a short while, then came back together & have been married over 40 years. Love the clips of his family. If you have not seen it, you must see his song he did in the first days after 9/11. Friggin' amazing. It's mellow like this, however he also has soem great 'fun' music. "Five 'o'clock somewhere' & 'Chattahoochee' are two great examples.

She was holding back tears. Great reaction. This is their life together. Stay together. Through everything. 17 years with my wife and going strong. Blessings.

I love how he uses the mandolin so wonderfully in most of his videos...its just beautiful...just like his songs...wholesome family oriented songs about real life...about the life most of us secretly dream ours would or should be like...its a shame the world today no longer takes the time with things going at such a fast pace to take time to enjoy and notice....things that would make a difference in the world are being erased...things we should take time for like family and simple moral values....maybe all of us should start thinking about all of this on a daily basis instead of everything bad.

the richness and reward of life well loved!! simply beautiful

One of the GOATs of country music!

I wish my life could have been like this. I hope you two will have one as good or better.

Alan writes such amazing music. gotta love it

Just an all around beautiful song! His voice, the song, the video...and the words! Beautiful

Another great reaction to a great singer and song.

He has a beautiful voice and TONS of hits!! He made an album Bc his momma kept asking him to. It’s called Precious Memories and it’s sold millions of copies!! “Chatahoochee” is a great one, a fun one to start with. “Where were you when the World stopped Turning”. Sooooo many. He’s legendary

This makes me look back at my life with my wife and all we went through the good times the hard times loosing our parents but then our kids having the grandkids and the circle of life goes on with your own family it just plays like a movie in my mind.

Alan is such a great songwriter and performer so I love a lot of what he does but what’s so special about this song to me is how it doesn’t candy coat the struggles people often go through. No one said marriage and raising kids is easy but man is it worth it! The song mentions how the start was hard and how life threw them some curves, which happens. Also, how they’ll break each other’s hearts and hopefully bend but not break the marriage. How having kids can teach valuable lessons to the parents who have to let go of so much of themselves and put the kids first which often brings the parents closer even though the job of raising kids is one of the hardest yet most rewarding things they’ll ever do. It also talks about how our perceptions and values change as life moves on and how ultimately we’d do it all again, the struggles, the hurt, the broken trust, the rebuilt trust, the joy, and the love. It’s a masterpiece and now that I've been married for 20 years and have two wonderful kids this song means so much more to me. My favorite songs by the icon Alan Jackson are Remember When, Livin’ on Love, Where Were You, Small Town Southern Man, I’ll Try, Here in the Real World, Drive, She’s Got the Rhythm, The Older I Get, So You Don't Have to Love Me Anymore, Monday Morning Church, and I Can't Do That Anymore (recorded by Faith Hill).

My favorite of his

So beautiful!

Loved your reaction to this emotional song. If you've not heard Lee Ann Womack's "I Hope You Dance" you should react to it. The studio version that has her two daughters in it (in my opinion) is better than the videos of her performing it before a live audience.

At 60 this song hits different then if you were 16. Having a wealth of memories helps you relate to the lyrics.

Alan Jackson is pure country and country tradition in song and life. He is 64 years old.. stands 6' 4" and winner of multiple awards including 6 CMA, inducted in the Grand Ole Opry, and Hollywood Walk Fame. Alan Jackson was diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease in 2011. "I have this neuropathy and neurological disease," said Jackson. "It's genetic that I inherited from my daddy. There's no cure for it, but it's been affecting me for years. Charcot-Marie-Tooth is a hereditary disorder that affects the nervous system, causing progressive loss of muscle tissue and loss of sensation in the arms and legs. Try Alan Jackson's song "Good Time"

A nighttime DJ on a soul station back in the day used to say, "Can ya dig it? If you can't dig it, you've got a hole in your soul and you don't eat fried chicken on Sunday". Ditto for country music.

Another couple of duos you should check out are THOMPSON SQUARE and SUGARLAND. Their song STAY is a simple bit emotion filled song that she wrote during a messy divorce and yiu can really see her strength in this song. She also did one solo as Jennifer Nettles called THAT GIRL which is actually a answer to the classic JOLENE by Dolly Parton.

You will enjoy “Midnight in Montgomery” by Alan Jackson. A beautiful tribute to Hank Williams Sr.

This song never fails to put a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes.

Peace, Love!!

I always cry when listening to this song😢

This is one of his best!! He also has a more recent one called “The Older I Get” that’s very moving!

This will forever be my favorite Alan Jackson song and my favorite country song. Thanks very much for a great reaction.

They made it through his affaires and he found he still loved and wanted her and she felt the same so they gave it another go and are still together.

Now that's how you write a love song!

Love Alan Jackson! Please react to Midnight in Montgomery❤️❤️❤️

NO NOTHING ELSE. Its about him and his wife and their life together. 🎉❤

Really enjoyed watching you two lately. Country music will seldom disappoint you. Great story telling! Another sole gripper is Brad paisley with don't take the girl. Try it! Peace from Northern Michigan.

Welcome to country music. Great tunes with great stories performed by great artists. "Where were you when the World Stopped Turning"' is another Alan Jackson tear jerker.

You guys are fantastic love your reaction

Yep..!!

Alan's song Drive is another song that brings a lot of nostalgia to me and is really good I think.

His faith music is GREAT, too.

you both are wonderful love your content

OK just letting yall know I came by and didn't want to get emotional. bad timing lol....love this song, enjoy.

One of my absolute favorites. So beautiful. ❤

You young people are Fantastic!!!!

It’s about Life

Alan's "Where you when the world stopped turning", is a must watch.

He is 100% a story teller. Midnight in Montgomery is a good one

"Where were you when the world stop turning"

This is my favorite song by Alan Jackson a tear 😢 jerker song and reminds me of what I lost so many years years ago 😢

It goes by quick

Sorry it’s ‘Where we’re you when world stop turning. That was the song dedicated to 911. Had it confused, but Alan Jackson is an amazing country singer, but I believe he passed away?

You should really check out Pattie Loveless live singing “You’ll Never Harlem Alive” ! Very good song!

Brooks and Dunn “Believe”

You could react to Alan for weeks with his catalog. He is fantastic! We were blessed enough to see him in concert! Amazing talent!!

Please react to Alan's masterpiece..."Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning". Have Kleenex close by!

To me this is the best country western song from Alan Jackson. Incredible writer.... love him 💝

Love this song... God bless him. He's battling a debilitating disease.

New sub here. Excited to see Country reaction. Truth in life, musicianship, vocals and songwriting.

2 of my favorite Alan Jackson song are "Drive" and "Where Were You'. For a lighter side of Alan Jackson " Little Bitty" and " Where I Come From".

React to where were you when the world stopped turning

Alan Jackson ~ “Sissy’s Song” and “Drive” - I’d recommend the official videos on both.

This is the way it should for better for worse what power to know someone inside and out

Thanks!

if you like the story-telling songs, songs about family... he's got another great one called, "Drive". It's a song about some of his childhood memories and then him as a man trying to give his daughters similar happy memories. It's a more upbeat song than this one, but still a tear jerker due to his warm voice and incredible storytelling skills.

With impressive 27 number one songs Alan Jackson will have you laughing along with tearing up.

This is an amazing artist, he has so many story telling songs.

Alan Jackson is an amazing songwriter with an awesome voice a true storyteller. You need to listen to Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning that he wrote the day that 9/11 happened. Listen to every word and you will be totally moved

A bit late to the party but this song ranks right up there with Dolly Parton and Ricky Van Shelton's "Rockin' Years" on my list of favorite songs about longevity in a relationship.

Great reaction. Alan Jackson is sick now and his last (and probably final) performance was a few months ago on an award show, So sad.

He and his wife split about a year but got back together. He writes from the heart. React to "Drive" he remembers learning to drive from his step father.

Wait until the end to comment. Breaking it up kills the mood

I have see Alan Jackson in concert many times and remember Leann Rimes when she was 13 or 14 singing Blue opening for him back in 96 or 97. You need to check out his song Where were You about 911.

Dutchcoors I'm Alans age and have followed his career since the early 80's. Alan Jackson wrote this song based on "real life" moments. The videos in the earlier life were of them, their children and their lives as they get older together. The words have meaning if you know their lives together. this verse - " life was changed, disassembled, rearranged We came together, fell apart and broke each other's hearts" I'm guessing is about Alans earlier infidelities, but the song has a fairy tale ending as they were only apart for a short time because of it. As none of us are sinless we must remember even famous people need the Lord's forgiveness and as you look at Alan and his wife's relationship one can only come to the conclusion, Alan was redeemed as they have put the old behind to only remember the good memories of life, children and all of their blessings. Denise Jackson his wife wrote a book in 97 " Its all about him" detailing the ups and downs in their marriage. She wrote - "The greatest blessings in my life have come out of my worst shattering - his betrayal and our separation were what led to this new, passionate love relationship with God and also led to us being able to have the kind of marriage that we both always wanted but just didn’t know how to have." In the song " the sounds of little feet, brought back the love we found trust Vowed we'd never give it up Remember when " is referring to the later years as they moved on watching their children grow up. The picture of the older couple celebrating their 50th was Alans grand-parents. He spoke about them and their parents often being brought up in the southern Gospel church. Alan is no doubt in the top 10 of all-time best country writers and entertainers. He's #1 in my book because of his morals and principles. God Bless you Alan Jackson, family and your walk ahead.

I love how much Alan Jackson uses a lot of steel guitar in most of his slower songs.

this was written as a love letter to his wife and family

Maybe my favorite country song

Jackson wrote the heartfelt song as a tribute to his wife, Denise, who he met in 1976 at a Dairy Queen in his hometown of Newman, Georgia. Twenty-four years after their marriage in 1979, the song serves as a reminder of the love they shared that day. That is his wife and kids in the video. You should also add to your list his "Where were you when the world stop turning"

Listen to "The Older I Get", "Livin on Love", "Small town Southern Man", "Must be Love", "Where were you", " 5 clock somewhere" among other.

One of the best 30th+ anniversary songs.

About their life together.

It's the story of life with your lady and family.

He wrote this song for his wife for their 25th Anniversary.

An old favorite. I play it every time I begin feeling like I'm in a rut in my relationships. The rumor is that he almost ruined his marriage years ago by hooking up with fan girls while he was out touring. I don't know how accurate that rumor is or how serious it might have been. They patched up their problems. I don't know if my wife could have forgiven me.

Oh God..made me emotional anyway. lol

You can't go wrong with any of his songs.

Where were you when the world stopped turning, Its five o'clock somewhere Murder on Music row are my suggestions

Listen to “Red on a Rose “by him as well. Very good song & album.

Just found you guys...Love your reactions....try James Blunt Monsters....Eva Cassidy Over the Rainbow....spread the music

Y'all are awesome. Check out Grarth Brooks, 'The Dance' which is about the tragic loss of wife

This song is about him and his wife and their life together and not about a death.

If my memory is correct, he wrote it for his family to have a record of their life, in short. Enjoy

Alan Jackson - Drive / or, Small Town Man
