CD Review: When Somebody Loves You - Alan Jackson

Reviewed by Carrie Attebury

I have loved Alan Jackson since I first heard his music in 1991. "When Somebody Loves You" is his newest release, and it's great!

"Meat And Potatoes Man" is a very cute song that will make you hungry listning to it. In every verse a different food or drink is mentioned. My favorite verse is "I Don't Like Caviar, Sushi Bars the IRS or Phony Stars, I'm A Haggard Fan, A Meat And Potatoes Man."

"When Somebody Loves You" is the most beautiful song that Alan Jackson has put out in a long time.

"The Thrill Is Back" and songs like it are the reason that I like Alan Jackson's music so much. Its a medium tempo foot tapper, about a guy who has been down in the dumps thinking he had lost his girl, and then she comes back to him.

"www.memory" is the first single and video release from the album. The video features a lady driving around a town while computer images of Alan Jackson appear everywhere (I like to think) much to her annoyance. But as always, Alan gets his girl in the end appearing magically beside her after she turns on her laptop.

"I Still Love You" in my opinion ranks right up there with Alan's hits "Here In The Real World," and "Wanted." It's a about a guy who's lost his girl. I love the line "I'm Such A Dope My Hearts Still Broke, Cause I Still Love You."

"It's Alright To Be A Redneck" would go wonderfully with Jeff Foxworthy's now infamous jokes. "Ba Bom Ba Bom"

"Three Minute Positive Not Too Country Up Tempo Love Song." With a title like that, the song is bound to be an instant country music classic. I guess you could call it Alan Jackson's stab at putting politically correctness in a country song.
