       曾创下3000万张惊人销售纪录,有“乡村先生”雅称的Alan Jackson,Alan Jackson是继Garth Brooks之后,90年代最著名的乡村音乐男歌手,他完整的继承了80年代的新传统主义运动。这位倍受歌迷喜爱的乡村男歌手谦虚而朴实,他擅长自己创作并演唱歌曲,唱法朴实自然,音乐富有深意,他一共拥有着20多首冠军单曲以及更多的前十名单曲。

      《Greatest Hits, Vol. 2》是Alan Jackson的第二张精选辑,首周表现十分优异,以32万8千张的销量荣登榜首,这也是他继2002年的专辑《Drive》之后,第二张Billboard 200排行榜的冠军专辑,去年专辑《Drive》的首周销量达到了42万3千张。他此前的精选辑《Greatest Hits Collection》在1995年发行时首周也达到了31万8千张,并且这张专辑的销量目前已经超过了五百万张。  

  本张精选辑主要收录的是1995年精选辑《Greatest Hits Collection》发行之后面世的专辑中的优秀单曲,专辑的排列顺序基本是按照专辑发行的时间自然排列的,前四首单曲全部选自96年的专辑《Everything I Love》;之后的四首全部是98年专辑《High Mileage》中诞生的单曲榜前五名的单曲;从99年的《Under the Influence》中选取了包括向Hank Williams Jr.致敬的《The Blues Man》在内的三首歌;2000年的《When Somebody Loves You》中同样也有三首单曲榜前十名的单曲入选本精选辑;最后两首则是2002年的专辑《Drive》中两首震人心魄的代表曲目,为“9·11”事件创作的《Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning)》和献给亡父的《Drive (For Daddy Gene)》。同时在本精选辑的另一个Bonus版本中共收录了多达25首歌曲,其中还包括了Alan Jackson和Jimmy Buffett合作的新歌《It's Five O'Clock Somewhere》。  

  本精选辑的歌曲几乎涵盖了Alan Jackson自1995年以来发行的专辑中所有好歌,这其中多数由Alan Jackson亲自创作,带有很强的Alan Jackson的风格特点和思想,本张专辑可以说是新传统主义的乡村音乐中一本教科书式的专辑,有理由相信这张精选辑的销量不会低于他的前一辑。

alan jackson- remember when  

曾几何时我年轻过你亦如此
Remember when I was young and so were you
时光静止你我除爱别无所知
And time stood still and love was all we knew
我之初恋,亦是你的
You were the first, so was I
你我缠绵后你潸然泪下
We made love and then you cried
曾几何时
Remember when

曾几何时你我山盟海誓怡然漫步
Remember when we vowed the vows and walked the walk
心灵相交,共创美好,已然艰辛
Gave our hearts, made the start, it was hard
我们经历成长,生活坎坷
We lived and learned, life threw curves
有过快乐,有过心酸
There was joy, there was hurt
曾几何时
Remember when

曾几何时旧人故去新人坠地
Remember when old ones died and new were born
世事变迁,分分合合
And life was changed, disassembled, rearranged
你我相聚,散去
We came together, fell apart
我们心碎彼此
And broke each other's hearts
曾几何时
Remember when

曾几何时轻轻小脚拍出动人乐曲
Remember when the sound of little feet was the music
周复一周你我随舞
We danced to week to week
重燃爱火,找到信任
Brought back the love, we found trust
承诺我们永不放弃
Vowed we'd never give it up
曾几何时
Remember when

曾几何时而立之年觉老
Remember when thirty seemed old
如今回首,不过垫脚坚石
Now lookin' back, it's just a steppin' stone
曾经步步攀登终修得此
To where we are where we've been
说过你我总能重来
Said we'd do it all again
曾几何时
Remember when

曾几何时我们设想你我白发之时
Remember when we said when we turned gray
子女长大离巢之时
When the children grow up and move away
我们不会伤感,你我欣然
We won't be sad, we'll be glad
只因与你厮守此生
For all the life we've had
我们忆起曾几何时
And we'll remember when
曾几何时
Remember when
曾几何时
