it's one of the reasons I bought the CD but I'll admit I haven't listened to that cut yet. I need to get it loud, so here at the office won't do.
maybe at lunch I'll get to it and get back to you.
I keep listening to it over and over ... I kept hitting the << key on the iPod last night on my way home ... it really is amazing that the quality is so excellent ... I don't guess I realized what a great voice Jackson has ...

My love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain.

OK, so I gave it a few spins while out of the office. Right now I'll say I prefer Timothy B. Schmidt's version from Hell Freezes Over. But Alan's voice did surprise/amaze me on this cut.
I've heard the Eagles version so many more times that I expected to hear it that way from Alan, which didn't help his cause. But I'll not cut it from my shuffle-play and will listen with great volume whenever I can.
What impressed me the most was that Alan was up there going it alone, save the backup singers. I haven't heard the other version you're talking about, but I'll check it out!

I almost went to the Texas Stadium show but I couldn't bring myself to. I like Strait but not Jackson. I am not a huge fan of straight up country music. I felt that I might have been wasting my money. As a result I am not buying the CD. If you shoot me please aim center mass.
If life is just a tire swing I hope the tire isn't a Firestone!

I didn't go to the Texas Stadium show, either. But, I do love the mix of Buffett and Strait/Jackson. They're just guys out there having some fun ...

The more I listen, the better it sounds (and no, I'm not dranking) ... he did that live ... no sitting in a studio with sound engineer to tweak it, although I'm sure this cut was worked on ... it's just sturnning, IMHO.
The night I first heard that on CMT, I went right to itunes and bought the Eagles VERSION. I agree that it is one of the best cuts on the LiveatTS CD.

Mr Play,
Wow, it's great to see those photos. I wish I could be back there right now. Sitting on the boat, chilling out, the night before was just about perfect. It'll be great to see everyone again!!!
The t-shirts are here and they turned out great! I've got some work to do, but I should be able to get them mailed out with wristbands no later than Saturday.
It was a pleasure and a hell of an evening
Truly was our night to win
But the authorities insist on my leaving
Take care my American friend

I agree! He sounds wonderful. And to top that off, he is some GREAT eye candy!!! I listen to the CD everyday on the way to work.
