Alan Jackson is a consumate country music professional.

After twenty five years in the business he told the Associated Press:

"You always want to make a good album, you're concerned about doing that, but I don't feel pressure to compete with any of my history or trying to worry about getting on the radio or selling many albums,"

His recently released album Angels and Alcohol has been a big success for Alan.  In the interview he told the AP:

"(I) try to just focus on the music and what songs work better together and the sound, and make an album," he said. "I tried to always concentrate on that and not worry so much about, 'Well is this one going to be nominated for a Grammy?'

And when it comes to celebrating 25 years in the business how does he feel ?

Jackson: Old (laughs). I'm very proud of it. ...I feel relaxed. I feel like, 'Gosh, I've just done so much and accomplished so much and been so fortunate.' I couldn't hardly ask for anything else, so the rest is just like fun.

Included on his new album a special song he dedicated to his daughter who was leaving home to move cross country, "You Can Always Come Home"

I have always been a big fan of the lanky singer from Georgia and even though it's hard to pick just one I want to include my favorite Alan Jackson classic.
