Alan Jackson « 33 Grams of Blog

Lately I’ve been on a 90s music kick. I’ve gone back and listened to some of the things I listened to back then. A lot of it was country music from that decade. As I was doing this, I found a song I thought was comical. It’s sung by Alan Jackson and it’s called “I’ll Try”. Now, I could post a video of it for you all to watch, but that’s too much work. If you want to find it on YouTube and listen to it, I have faith in you to do that without any help from me. I will tell you why I find it comical, however.

The reason I think it’s funny is that the lyrics to this song is Alan Jackson promising a woman that he’ll try not to cheat on her. Not, “I promise not to cheat on you.” No, it’s “I’ll try.”

And I’ll try to love only you
And I’ll try my best to be true

Those are the actual lyrics. I mean, he might as well have said, “I’ll try not to cheat on you, baby, but no promises.”

As I stated in my last weekly soundtrack, I will be filling this week’s up with country music. Now, it has been a long time since I listened to country music regularly, and, even then, it was kind of against my will. During my freshman, and half of my sophomore, year in high school, our bus driver always had the radio on the country station, and we had a 30-45 minute bus ride each way.

A few years later, when I moved out from living with my parents for the first time, my roommate listened to country. So, I picked up a bit from him. Since then, my country listening has been sporadic. Because of this, most (if not all) of the songs on this list will be from the 90s. I will also try to not have the whole list be Garth Brooks. I may, or may not, be successful.

Let’s get on to the music.

Up first today is Tell Me I Was Dreaming by Travis Tritt.

Our second song is Midnight In Montgomery by Alan Jackson.

This is the song that was the first dance at my wedding. Here’s George Strait with I Cross My Heart.

Fourth is Toby Keith with How Do You Like Me Now.

Up fifth is John Michael Montgomery with How Was I To Know.

Sixth is Everywhere by Tim McGraw.

Our last song for this week is When You Come Back To Me Again by Garth Brooks.

Well, my friends, there you go. For those of you who like my normal lists, I will be returning to them next week. I just felt a little bit of a change up was necessary. Hopefully, you liked what you heard. Until next time!
