アラン・ジャクソン Alan Jackson
米国のカントリー歌手で、本名をアラン・ユージン・ジャクソン( Alan Eugene Jackson )と言い、1958年10月17日にジョージア州ヌーナンで生まれました。狭い家に父、母、彼と4人の姉妹の7人家族が暮らし、廊下が彼の部屋でした。家計を助けるため12歳から靴屋で働きました。高校時代は友達の影響でジーン・ワトソン( Gene Watson )やジョン・アンダーソン( John Anderson )、ハンク・ウィリアムズ・ジュニア( Hank Williams Jr. )などを聞き、バンドを組んで演奏していました。20代は車の販売員として働き、初めて歌を作ったのは1983年のことです。その後、歌手を志してテネシー州ナッシュヴィルに出て、グレン・キャンベル( Glen Campbell )と知り合い、彼の後押しでアリスタと契約しました。1989年にアリスタの子会社アリスタ・ナッシュヴィルで初シングル盤「Blue Blooded Woman」を吹き込みました。この曲は失敗で Hot Country Songs の Top40 にも届きませんでしたが、1990年には「Here in the Real World」が3位のヒットになり、続けて同名の初アルバム「Here in the Real World」が発表されました。アルバムからは Top5 ヒットになった「Wanted」と「Chasin' That Neon Rainbow」、No.1 ヒットの「I'd Love You All Over Again」が生まれました。その他のアルバムは、1991年「Don't Rock the Jukebox」、1994年「A Lot About Livin' (And a Little 'bout Love)」、1994年「Who I Am」、1996年「Everything I Love」、2006年「Like Red On A Rose」、2008年「Good Time」、2010年「What I Do」などがあります。
