Bought the album because I love Alan Jackson, love everything about him. Listened to the album, heard ‘Chattahoochee,’ thought ‘that’s a cool grove, I like that.’ I like what it’s talking about. Listened to a bunch of em on there, all the way to the end. Then all of the sudden, I turn on CMT and he’s waterskiing on the Chattahoochee river and doing flips. That was my favorite song on that album, immediately.” And now fans of Brad might be making “Heaven South” their favorite song of his thanks to the video, which you can check out HERE
