November 7, 2001–Just weeks after the tragedy of September 11th, as the nation mourned, the great Alan Jackson sang on the CMA Awards “Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning?” I was grateful to be in the audience that night at the Grand Ole Opry House to hear Alan perform it for the first time. I got tears and chills at the lyrics that summed up beautifully what the country felt during those trying times. I’ve always thought that very moment may be the finest example of the power of music

A bold moment in country music history. George Strait & Alan Jackson’s 1999 CMA performance of “M*rder on Music Row” called out the industry’s shift away from traditional country, live in front of the very people it criticized. A legendary, no-frills stand for real country music. It is a protest song lamenting the decline of traditional country music in favor of more pop-oriented styles, blaming record executives and commercial pressures for the loss of the genre’s roots. #CountryLegends #Mvrder

That moment Alan Jackson gave the middle finger to the CMA's.... 😂 This was after they disrespected the King of Country, George Jones and asked him to sing a 1-min abridged version of "Choices" @ the 1999 CMA Awards.... Alan cut in halfway thru his song and performed his idol, Jones' song instead ..... Alan Jackson is one of the few "new" Country singers who are actually Country.... 🎶 Real Country Music 🎶 #alanjackson #choices #georgejones #CMA #countrymusicfans #CountryMusicHistory #pioneer

In 1994, during the 29th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards (ACM Awards), Alan Jackson pulled off a quiet yet pointed protest. The show’s producers had required his performance of “Gone Country” to be backed by a prerecorded track rather than a fully live band. Unwilling to comply with what he felt was “faking” it for his audience, Jackson told his drummer, Bruce Rutherford, not to bring drumsticks onstage. The result: Rutherford sat at the drum kit swinging empty hands at silent cymbals, ee
