After Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson was probably the most popular male country singer of the '90s. An heir to the new traditionalist movement of the '80s, Jackson's approach was rooted in classic honky tonk yet remained comfortably within the contemporary mainstream.

Jackson's hallmark has beem his consistency -- he wrote many of his own hits, and his way with a hook was part of the reason he never really hit a commercial dry spell, even into the new millennium. He also projects a modest, wholesome, down-to-earth image that made him one of the best-liked stars of his era even apart from his music.

On his latest release 'What I Do' (his fourteenth for Arista Nashville), the Country Music Association's reigning Entertainer of the Year presents a collection of unabashed, jukebox-worthy country. Ever walking the line between populism and memoir, the album's twelve songs fully complement a fifteen-year career that has thus far produced over 43 million sales and 31 #1 hits. Fans will get to hear new favorites "The Talkin' Song Repair Blues" and "Monday Morning Church" along with a host of past gems. Sara Evans and The Wrights open this Shoreline Amphitheatre show.
