The single "Good Time" from Jackson's new Arista Nashville album, is a honky-tonk jam that is tremendously easygoing yet edgy.  It's a Friday night country tune sung by a dog-tired guy who has worked through the week yet doesn't want to sleep.  Jackson wrote all 17 songs on the new collection which is loose, inventive, traditional, high-spirited, sad, intense and laid-back, and will keep fans hanging on every word.


Jackson is a dedicated, informed country classicist unafraid of the new and is a first-rate songwriter who doesn't insist on singing only his own songs.  He wants to do what he wants to do but he also considers how his fans feel about things.  He has won every award in the book but doesn't let that be the end of his creative stories.  The effortless range of Good Time recalls the work of Hank Williams, who, as Jackson says, "knew a thing or two about balance and keeping things creatively together."  In the end, what you keep coming back to with Jackson and his work is something that artists in any musical field might envy- balance.
