Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
With a new single, "Small Town Southern Man,"
already climbing Hot Country Songs, one of the genre's most reliable
hitmakers will return March 4 with his 15th studio album.
The Arista Nashville set "Good Time" also includes the
Martina McBride duet "Never Loved Before," the self-explanatory
"Country Boy" and "Sissy's Song," a tribute to a deceased family friend.
Jackson wrote all the tunes, which were produced by
longtime colleague Keith Stegall. The artist begins a North American
tour Feb. 2 at San Antonio's annual Livestock and Rodeo show.
In related news, Jackson is nominated for a
best male country vocal performance Grammy for "A Woman's Love," from
his 2006 album "Like Red on a Rose."
