Country music superstar Alan Jackson will release his much anticipated album Thirty Miles West on June 5. Jackson will be launching his new album in New York City with performances on NBC’s The Today Show and CBS’s Late Show With David Letterman.

“I meet a lot of teenagers,” Alan Jackson says. “It’s surprising how many like real classic country music… They go out and find it, even if they can’t hear it on the radio. They know.” He pauses for a moment, half- laughs. He’s been here before.

The online voting that drew Alan Jackson to a high school parking lot Sunday night may have started as "kind of a complicated little deal" to promote his album, the country music star told 6,000 people who gathered to hear him sing.

Alan Jackson's Georgia roots are always near and dear to his heart, and he proves that with the title of his latest CD, Thirty Miles West, due out in just a few weeks.
