I heard a new duet with Jimmy Buffett and Alan Jackson on the radio (WPUR Cat Country 107.3 in Atlantic City, NJ) this morning. The country news reporter for the morning said that the song was recorded at Shrimp Boat Studios last month and will appear on Alan Jackson’s forthcoming yet unnamed Greatest Hits Album. The song is called “It’s Five O’clock Somewhere” and features Alan on the lead vocals and Jimmy on back up with some hamming up at the end between them. It’s a fun song (of course), maybe it might make the summer tour.
The Gainsville Sun has an article: “Alan Jackson, Jimmy Buffett Record Duet” that mentions the album by Alan Jackson is due out in late August or early September.
Alan Jackson has posted a snippet of the new song on his web site.
