[Track 11 is Gene Watson's song: "That's What I'd Be Like Without You"]

I can't figure out why they say there are 2 new songs on the CB album of
Alan's.


Track 11 is Gene Watson's song: "That's What I'd Be Like Without You"
which I am familiar with Gene singing...but it also is one so wonderful to hear
Alan singing. MMmmmmm
He sd he had recorded this song for his Under the Influence album (in '99)..but 
then didn't use it on that album.
 
I could not find the lyrics online..
                      ~~~~~~~~~
 
Track 12 is "Nothing Sure Looked Good on You"
from Alan's What I Do [2004] album
It is so GREAT hearing Alan singing traditional lyrics like these!
He sings so effortlessly and I'm sure Gene Watson is Proud of his
including these two covers of his own songs.

Gene Watson - Nothing Sure Looked Good On You Lyrics
Album: Greatest Hits
 
You found your greener pastures in a mansion on the hill
With a flashy foreign car to drive and lots of time to kill
Now my mind keeps on remembering the days of me and you
But when we were down to nothing, nothin' sure looked good on you.
You said you needed simple things that I had plenty of
And through the days of dark and rain we could always live on love
With his style in life he lured you and you could not refuse
But when we were down to nothin', nothin' sure looked so good on you.
When you honeymooned in Paris it was carried on the news
And I heard you laughed your cares away on a Caribbean cruise
You were always one for dreamin' now your dreams can all come true
But when we were down to nothin',,, nothin' sure looked good on you

You said you needed simple things that I had plenty of
And through the days of dark and rain we could always live on love
With his style in life he lured you and you could not refuse
But when we were down to nothin', nothin' sure looked so good on you.

That was very nice of you, too, to let AJ decide where he thought his signature
might look right.  You are probably going to be one of handful of folks who have
their special rocker signed, too. Wow!  Too bad all those Dolly Parton Cracker
Barrel rockers are probably sold ... so Bill won't have one of hers to rock in next
to you in your AJ version!

Now... is it going to be used inside or out?  I bet Inside, right?  LOL

Take care...

I loved reading and hearing (by phone and text) yesterday about this
Cracker Barrel event of Alan’s yesterday. One thing I would like to share
is what a friend wrote me after she experienced it ‘live!’….

She wrote me:
I have to say that the event was very well planned,,, very professional
and Alan was so generous to his fans today.

and she added:
Afterwards I walked to the back of the building where they had fenced off his bus.
I stood by the fence with a few other fans and waited for Alan to come out. I wasn’t
there but 10 minutes and he came out.
A woman holding a small boy asked Alan to sign the child’s guitar and he did.
He waved to the rest of us and boarded his bus.

Now that just warmed my heart to know how happy Alan left his fans after all
the day’s events were over.

Alan Jackson Pleased His Fans At Cracker Barrel

Over 500 fans lined up today, many before dawn, for a rare chance to meet country music megastar Alan Jackson at the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® location in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee.

People came from just down the road and from as far away as California and Canada to be part of the launch of The Alan Jackson Collection, an exclusive 41+ piece assortment of merchandise inspired by and intended to reflect Alan’s family lifestyle.

The collection includes Alan’s newest CD, Songs of Love and Heartache. Jackson shook hands, chatted, and signed autographs for Cracker Barrel guests for two hours.

“I grew up in the South, so Cracker Barrel has been a part of my family since I was a young man,” says Alan Jackson. “I was really flattered when they came to me with the idea of working together to create a collection for their country store, and I’ve been very impressed with the variety and quality of the items that we have put together. I think my fans and their families will appreciate everything in the collection.” The collection, exclusive to Cracker Barrel, is available at all Cracker Barrel locations.

Cracker Barrel planned each detail of today’s event in Mt. Juliet carefully to ensure that things went smoothly and that fans and guests had a good time shopping, eating and, of course, meeting Alan Jackson. “Cracker Barrel has never hosted a store event to this scale before,” said Peter Keiser, Vice President of Marketing. “So it was important to consider all possibilities to make sure that our guests had a great experience. When we heard in advance from some guests that they were planning to camp out overnight to be first in line, we knew we had a winning idea here. All the hard work paid off.”

The Alan Jackson collection includes 41 high quality items inspired by Jackson’s hometown family philosophy and includes menswear, womenswear, gift items and the new CD, Songs of Love and Heartache, available only at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store locations. This CD includes two songs that have not previously been released, “That’s What I’d Be Like Without You,” and “Nothing Sure Looked Good On You,” as well as 10 other songs, including such hits as “Here in the Real World,” “Livin On Love,” and “Remember When.”
