Gone Country Alan Jackson

 Gone Country by Alan Jackson tells the story of three musicians who are all, in a sense, fed up with the music they are playing. Each verse tells about how each artist decided to go country and write, sing and play country music. This song plays the story telling element of country music perfectly. Alan Jackson is known for his patriotic country music and this is no exception. Though it wasn't written by Alan Jackson himself, it still stays true to his music themes. His song is about being patriotic to country. To the blue collar imagery and hard working people. The Outsider website says this about the writing of Alan Jacksons 10th number one hit. "During an interview, Alan Jackson said that he wishes he wrote “Gone Country” because “it says a lot of things that I’d like to say. Bob McDill wrote this and he is one of my favorite writers of all time. When I first heard this song I fell in love with it,” said Jackson. “I think it’s just a fun song actually, celebrating how country music has become more widespread and accepted by all types of people all over the country.”

Alan Jackson's music is patriotic in its own way to people today. Many file his music with memories from childhood and listen to his songs to reminisce and put them in the 'country' mindset. His music is iconic 90's country and is still listened to so much today.
