"ALAN JACKSON - small town southern man"
documentary on amazon Prime.
doco made in 2018 details the poverty of his humble beginnings living in a tool shed with parents and three other siblings through to the endless string of menial blue-collar jobs and his dream of becoming a singer. doco eventually gets in to his struggles getting recognised in Nashville and how he was going to return to Georgia after one too many rejections from Label Exec's through to becoming one of the greatest country music singers of all time with countless awards and the highest praises of the "country elite" and performing for four Presidents.
doco has interviews with Jackson, his family, friends, luminaries and peers.
an excellent documentary about a man i knew nothing about yet own 13 of his 18 studio albums.
this will give me whole new perspective on the man and his music the next time i play his music.
rating: 4/5
