Anyone who earns a second volume of GREATEST HITS has obviously learned a thing or two about staying power and consistency of artistic vision. Such is the case with Alan Jackson, who appeared in the 1990s as mainstream country`s alternative to the dominance of King Garth. His sound was still eminently accessible, but the faux-Springsteen drama of Kiss fan Garth`s rock manque was eschewed for a more roots-oriented (though hardly traditionalist) sound. Things kick off nicely with the Cajun-flavored smash "Little Bitty," then giving way to the introspective, fiddle-laced country ballad "Everything I Love." Along the way, there`s the pleasantly chugging, upbeat "It Must Be Love," the much-publicized post-9/11 song "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)," thankfully absent of Toby Keith`s contemporaneous jingoistic rancor, and the Jimmy Buffett-assisted party anthem "It`s Five O` Clock Somewhere." Add a couple of unreleased tracks and a bonus disc of more obscure material, and you`ve got as good an introduction to Jackson`s work as his first GREATEST HITS COLLECTION.
