Listening to Tim Jackson's music takes you back to when songwriters recorded albums that told you something about the artist. Remember when the singer personally wrote the music and played the instruments? Remember when lyrics had meaning and didn't simply sort of rhyme? The music spoke to you, the artistry touched you, and made you feel somehow connected. You'll find all of that with this collection. It takes a veteran of life to know what it feels like when time swallows you as in "This Lonely Place." And somewhere along the way, each of us comes across a "Shoebox Museum" of keepsakes that belonged to someone we respected. Veterans of another sort know the story of "Wildhorse Road." These songs have meaning, and they become all the more meaningful in the hands of a skilled musician. Yet, Tim knows how to shift gears, and he does with fan favorites "18 Wheels" and "Down the Mississippi." Someone once said that they don't write 'em like that anymore. Here's one guy who still does. If you're a fan of blue-collar country with a twist of heartland rock and roll, here's a guy you're going to love.
