Country legend Alan Jackson has had a whopping 34 No. 1 hits throughout his career, and all 34 are now going to be available in his brand new, two-disc collection titled 34 Number Ones. The set will include not only his No. 1 hits but also “As She’s Walking Away,” “Look at Me” and Jackson’s take on the Johnny Cash classic, “Ring of Fire.”
According to industry site All Access,” If you are going to cover a classic, let alone a classic by the Man in Black, you better be ready to swing for the fences. Well, the ball is still sailing because Alan Jackson has given us what may just be the best single of 2010.”
Roughstock said that “It’s hard to feel anything but reverence for this song and Alan Jackson himself . . .Very few artists could remake a song like this without drawing the ire of traditionalist fans but the vibrant vocal delivery and the tastefully updated production (even without the horns) should make ‘Ring of Fire’ a welcome addition to Alan Jackson’s catalog and country radio.”
34 Number Ones will be available in stores and online Nov. 22.
