According to Country Weekly, Jackson’s duet with Jimmy Buffett, “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere,” took just four weeks to climb to #7 on the Country charts. The song will be released on August 12th on Alan Jackson’s Greatest Hits Volume II collection.
Alan Jackson says: “Somebody pitched me that song, and I said ‘Man! This sounds like Buffett!’ Sure enough it already had his name in there, and it sounded like him, so it just felt natural to go ahead and do the thing. And he was kind enough to sing on it.”
“It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” climbs from number 53 to 45 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100.
