The title of this review pretty much sums up how I feel about my favorite male country music singer, Alan Jackson. Ever since I saw him open for Randy Travis back in 1990 when "Here In The Real World" (Alan's first #1) came out I knew Alan was destined to be not only a country music singer, but a country music superstar with staying power. He has always been a man who has never disappointed his audience with his pure country music songs, most of which he has written himself. He is widely regarded, along with Garth Brooks, for changing the face of country music in the early '90's, by giving country its roots back after the industry in Nashville became too pop-sounding.

 In this excellent two-disc CD set fans get a complete overview of Alan's remarkable twenty year career with every single of his remarkable 34 #1 songs along with three new singles. Highlights include "Don't Rock The Jukebox", "Dallas", "Wanted", "Chatahoochee", "Summertime Blues", and my favorite of all his compositions "Remember When", a song he wrote for his wife Denise. The package also contains the healing 9 11 song "Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning?", Alan's masterpiece in his response to the terrorist attacks in 2001. The three new songs in the set include a remake of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" with Lee Ann Womack and "As She's Walking Away" with the Zac Brown Band.

 An amazing career set, Alan's "34 #1's" is not only for the ardent Alan Jackson fan, but for lovers of music who would like to own material from one of the most honored male singers in the last twenty years.

 A+!
