Stereo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abZXLWyz7_0&fmt=18 ZazaMaxi joins BCB Band singing "Tall Tall Trees" by Roger Miller and later recorded by Alan Jackson. Jackson hit No. 1 three times in 1991, with "I'd Love You All Over Again," "Don't Rock the Jukebox" and "Someday." In 1992, he released the spooky video for "Midnight in Montgomery," which won a CMA Award. That same year, he returned to No. 1 with "Love's Got a Hold on You" and "She's Got the Rhythm (And I Got the Blues)." In 1993, he spent four weeks at the top with "Chattahoochee," which propelled the corresponding album A Lot About Livin' (And a Little 'Bout Love) to sales of more than 6 million copies. "Chattahoochee" won a CMA award for single of the year in 1993 and song of the year in 1994. Jackson took his first CMA entertainer trophy in 1995, coinciding almost exactly with The Greatest Hits Collection. Following several novelty hits, like "I Don't Even Know Your Name," Roger Miller's "Tall, Tall Trees" and Tom T. Hall's "Itty Bitty," Jackson then found inspiration (and chart success) in more challenging material, such as Harley Allen and Carson Chamberlain's "Between the Devil and Me" and Kieran Kane's "I'll Go On Loving You." Although Jackson's albums emphasize his original material, he frequently tips his hat to the sounds that molded his music. Prime examples include "Summertime Blues" (a country version of Eddie Cochran's 1958 rockabilly smash) and "Who's Cheatin' Who" (a remake of Charly McClain's 1981 hit). He took an additional step with the 1991 album, Under the Influence, offering his versions of songs made famous by Merle Haggard, Charley Pride, Conway Twitty, Don Williams, Gene Watson, Mel McDaniel and others. The album netted Jackson another Top 10 single with "Pop a Top," a Nat Stuckey song that was a major hit for Jim Ed Brown in 1967. Other highlights included Jackson's take on Hank Williams Jr.'s "The Blues Man." Others have had major hits with Jackson's compositions as well. Among his credits are Randy Travis' "Forever Together" and "Better Class of Losers," Clay Walker's "If I Could Make a Livin'" and Faith Hill's "I Can't Do That Anymore." Already one of country's most respected songwriters, Jackson ascended to yet a higher level at the 2001 CMA Awards show when he debuted "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)." His song about the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York City stunned the awards show audience and ultimately proved to be the most honest, heartfelt song written about the tragedy. In 2002, "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)" won Jackson his first Grammy, as best country song. At the 2002 CMA Awards, the song netted Jackson song of the year and single of the year honors. That same year, Jackson received the CMA's album of the year award for Drive while being named male vocalist and entertainer of the year. He tied Johnny Cash for the most CMA wins in a year. Drive went on to sell 4 million copies, and the title track spent several weeks at No. 1 as well.
