AUDIO: Alan Jackson says performing on the Grand Ole Opry, especially in the early days of his career, was intimidating.

AJ (Opry) OC: …with the Opry. :13

“I mean, it’s always tough in the early days to go out on the Opry, just because it’s intimidating, you know – the wood floor and all that greats like Hank and everybody stood on, and then just the whole atmosphere that goes along with the Opry.”
