Alan Jackson Is Unhappy That Country Music Is Changing

Alan Jackson hates modern country music

Country singer Alan Jackson isn’t happy that traditional country music seems to be going away. New music styles come around all the time and country music seems to be changing rapidly. He is trying to keep the country music style from the past around with a new album called Where Have You Gone.

He scoffed, “Country music is gone — and it’s not coming back.” He expanded, “Real country songs are life and love and heartache. They’re drinking, singing about Mama and having a good time, sad things, fun things.”

He continued, “It reflects the sounds of the instruments I grew up on, steel and acoustic guitar, the fiddle and the way they all came together. It gave you a sound, but also a real feeling or emotions no other music really had.”

In his new album, he utilizes the fiddle and the steel guitar to bring back that traditional country sound. He said he went back to his roots and tried to make each song into a story. He admitted that this was the project he always dreams of working on.
