Customer Reviews

My Dad, Rufus E.Young was A Sall Town Southern Man
My daddy was lying on his death bed, On Jan. 29, 2008. He loved and played country music his whole life. The radio was on and Alan Jackson's Small Town Southern Man came on, (it had not been released yet). Daddy took his oxygen away from his face, he ask my brother could he get that song off the internet. Bubba said, he was sure his girls could get it.
Daddy said , " son, I'm fixen to domino." My neices scrambled to get the song on disk for him. He died Jan. 30th at 8:17.Our family gathered and found every picture of dad from 15yrs to 72 trs. My neices put it together . At his funeral we played the video, it was perfect . You see daddy was born to sharecroppers in Southern Arkasas. They only had each other, and were always singing on the front porch.. Dad was plain and simple man, but got involved in a statewide scandel in OK The FBI had to put him under cover and he was th first recipient of The Lewis Peters Award(My brother has the award now.) We went to watch him recieve this award. The only thing he could say was " it wasn't right and my moma nor my daddy would have stood for it" Then he went back to being a carpenter and built a little house. That song came out when he needed it most I believe Alan Jacksons song helped him to know Angels would soon have him by the hand. Rufus Young was just a small town southern man .He was just what the song says and now every child and grandchild with a cell phone has the part where it says--"And he bowed his head to Jesus and he stood for Unkle Sam " all his greatgrand children can even sing "bowed his head to Jesus & stood for UnkleSam." and if we don't have that part we have " He said his greatest contributios is the ones he leaves behind." It is like a gentle reminder of his values, many nights we play guitar and sing at his old trailor, its the way he always communicated with us. Now,Our Family would like to thank Alan Jackson, For giving Daddy that song to tell his family how much he loves us and remind us he'll be in Heaven waiting on us all. It is like We keep his memory alive every time one of our cell phones rings or a baby sings "He bowed his head to Jesus". & we all have the Good Times album too.
Thank-You,
Cathy D. (Young) Mullings

Definitely A Good Time!
I have enjoyed this album from start to finish. This is about as country as country music can get nowadays and with Alan singing it doesn't get too much better than this. This album was as comfortable to me as curling up in bed and reading a good book that you can't take your eyes off until the end. Great job Alan!

the whole CD is so much fun!
besides from all being great quality, the fact that there are 17 whole songs is just great & surprising on a CD these days! while the whole CD is really good summertime listening, my favorite songs are the following:
1, 2, 4, 6, 10, 11, 13 & 17.
my ABSOLUTE favorite song is track 8--its lyrics are great & it has such an infectious, catchy beat!
BUY THIS CD without hesitation :)
