Lee O'Daniel And The Light Crust Dough Boys", "They Call Me A Playboy", "Just Forget It, Son" and "Merle and George". His very first album was an obscure independent release on Americana Records in 1987 and entitled: "New Traditional". He sang the demo tapes of songs for other stars to listen to and pick songs they wanted to record. He did a jingle for a Kraft cheese commercial early on in his career. Denise got him connected to Glen Campbell, who helped him jumpstart his career. In Tennessee, Jackson got a job in The Nashville Network's mailroom. He was in his 20's when he worked as a car salesman. (His mother stills lives in that home.) His first job, when 12, was in a shoe store. At one point, his bed was in the hallway for lack of room elsewhere. His father, mother, four sisters, and himself lived in a rather small home growing up. After a time, he and his wife of six years, Denise Sadler, moved from Newnan to Nashville hoping to pursue music full-time. Jackson started a band after high school. Jackson attended the local Elm Street Elementary and Newnan High School. However, a friend of his introduced him to the music of Gene Watson, John Anderson and Hank Williams Jr. As a youth, Jackson primarily listened to gospel music, and otherwise was not a major music fan. Jackson was born to Eugene Jackson and Ruth Musick in Newnan, Georgia and has four older sisters.
Jackson is also a member of the Grand Ole Opry, and he was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame in 2001. He is the recipient and nominee of multiple awards. More than fifty of his singles have reached Top 30 on the Billboard country charts, including twenty-five Number Ones. In his career, he has recorded twelve studio albums and several compilations, all on the Arista Nashville label. He was influenced by traditional country, and he was one of the most popular country singers of the 1990s, blending both honky tonk and mainstream country sounds and penning many of his own hits.
