Great Christian Songs Sung By Alan Jackson

As a tomboy growing up in the country, I listened to a lot of music by Alan Jackson – well, anything from earlier than the mainstream hip hop and rock music of the 90’s thanks to my dad as we cruised over some dusty dirt roads. Oh and the radio was nearly always turned to an AM station. I didn’t think I could survive hearing The Rest of the Story by Paul Harvey one more time as a teen, but I do cherish the memory of chanting the phrase with my brother as my dad silently laughed. There were a lot of old country tunes mixed – I always thought he played AM stations because they were clean, but it’s really because that’s what he grew up with and loved. This introduced me to countless Alan Jackson songs from “Remember When” to “Gone Country” to “Country Boy”. I didn’t think about this until I was older, but many of his songs would be considered Christian country songs by today’s standards.
