Alan Jackson is set to release his new album, Angels and Alcohol, his first studio album of all new music in three years. The album is titled after one of the songs on the album, which was the perfect heading describing the entire collection.
“It sounded like a good title to me,” says Alan. “This song is about such a wide expanse of your life. It’s about life and love and crying and dying and heartache and drinking and having a good time and Friday nights – all things, to me, that have always been a part of country music…Country music is always about so many things. I felt like this title – Angels and Alcohol – kind of is [from] one end to the other.”
Angels and Alcohol, which includes the lead track “Jim and Jack and Hank,” is available Friday (July 17th).
Catch Alan on NBC’s Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday (July 15th) and Today show on Friday.

“It sounded like a good title to me, first of all. I don’t know. People always ask me about country music, and I even say this on stage a lot when I say hello at the beginning of my shows, you know, about how I’m gonna do country music for ya. This song is about such a wide expanse of your life. It’s about life and love and crying and dying and heartache and drinking and having a good time and Friday nights – all things, to me, that have always been a part of country music. It’s not just, a lot of music’s just about love or lost love, typically. Country music is always about so many things. I felt like this title – Angels and Alcohol – kind of is [from] one end to the other.”
