Country music stations and fans alike are ‘buzzin” about Alan Jackson’s new single, “Jim and Jack and Hank,” which is a fun, uptempo tune about three of Alan’s “friends.”
“It’s just a fun little uptempo tune about same ole story. Girl leaves him, and this time he’s not gonna be heartbroken,” says Alan. “He says, ‘Yeah? Well, just go on out the door and take all your junk and everything. I don’t need anything. I got all I need. I got my friends, Jim, Jack, Hank – Jim Beam, Jack Daniels and Hank Williams, Sr. or Jr. or both. I like ‘em both.”
So, out of Jim or Jack, which one does he like best. “Well, I’ve had ‘em all, but I’ve always kind of stood by Jack Daniels, you know. He’s helped me through a lot of good and bad times,” he chuckles. “He’s helped me write songs. He’s a good friend.”
“Jim and Jack and Hank” is the first single from his new album, Angels and Alcohol.
