But that doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s totally out to pasture, or won\u2019t put out any new music. In fact, ahead of his career finale, Mr. Chattahoochee has released a rare cover song, but one that holds important significance for him. <\/p><p><em>\u201c50 years ago in 1976, in Newnan, Georgia, I started dating this young girl. She was a cheerleader for Newnan High School,\u201d<\/em> Alan Jackson <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/reel\/1021781740456363\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">explains<\/a>. <em>\u201cAnd one day, she went over to a friend\u2019s house, a girlfriend\u2019s house, and I went over there and hung out a while, and she was practicing her dance routine for the cheerleeding squad and the football game to a hit song that was a hit that summer called \u2018Still The One,\u2019 I think by a group called Orleans.\u201d<\/em><\/p><p>Jackson continues, <em>\u201cI sat there and watched her, and three years later, I ended up marrying that young girl. She\u2019s my wife today Denise. So in honor of 50 years ago, this has always been one of our old fond memories of our starting out days. Any time we hear that song, it brings back these memories. So in honor of the 50 years, I went into the studio and recorded that little pop song with some country seasoning, and I gave it to her for her birthday, \u2019cause she\u2019s still the one.\u201d <\/em><br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Still The One\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/v7InNhgUtQs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br\/>Though Alan Jackson wrote most of his own songs, he had some big hits with some covers too, most notably another summer hit in 1994 with his take on \u201cSummertime Blues,\u201d along with \u201cMercury Blues\u201d in 1993. He also had a Top 10 hit with \u201cPop a Top\u201d in 1999. Jackson has said just because he\u2019s no longer touring, that doesn\u2019t mean we should never expect him to release new music. Whatever Alan Jackson wants to sing, it\u2019s music to the ears of most an self-respecting country fan. His take on \u201cStill The One\u201d is no different. <\/p><p>In September of 2021, Alan Jackson revealed that he\u2019s been suffering from a degenerative nerve condition called Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, nicknamed CMT. The good news is that the disease is not life threatening, nor does it affect longevity. But CMT does significantly affect coordination, which has restricted Alan Jackson\u2019s ability to perform. That is the reason for his retirement at the age of 67.<\/p>\n<!-- PRyC WP: Add custom content to bottom of post\/page: Standard Content START --><\/div>\r\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\r\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source savingcountrymusic.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alan Jackson dancing with wife Denise on stage at the Two Step Inn, 2025 Alan Jackson might be officially retiring in a matter of days when he performs what\u2019s billed as his final concert on June 27th at Nissan Stadium in Nashville.
