Long Way To Go

Single Release0 Comments

Jackson releases his single, Long Way To Go, from his album, Thirty Miles West.

It’s just a fun summertime song – I had something to drink one time and a bug flew in it and I kinda made a note of that. Some people have asked if I was sitting someplace warm or near a beach when I was writing it, but I was actually in Nashville and it was pretty cold!

So You Don’t Have To Love Me Anymore

0 Comments

Jackson releases his single, So You Don’t Have To Love Me Anymore, from his album, Thirty Miles West. Jackson:

Well, at first it raised the hair on my arms, when I heard the demo. It was a really good version, too. It was one of those songs that, when I heard it, it’s the kind of song that made me want to be in country music. I’m such a big fan of that kind of song. Sad songs, or break-up songs, and heartache songs are always the best ones to bring that emotion out and are actually the easiest to write as a writer.
