Introduction:
Country music icon Alan Jackson released a song titled “This Time” in 2008. The song became part of his studio album, Good Time, which came out on November 5, 2008, under the label Arista Nashville. The album itself was a critical and commercial success, reaching number one on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. This project followed Jackson’s previous chart-topping album, Life in Motion, released in 2007. Keith Stegall, a long-time collaborator of Jackson’s, served as the producer for “This Time”
“This Time” falls squarely within the genre of country music. Jackson, known for his traditional country sound and poignant storytelling, explores themes of love, hope, and resilience in this song. It’s a ballad that steers away from the more modern country sounds that began to gain popularity in the late 2000s, staying true to Jackson’s signature style.
While not achieving the same level of chart success as some of Jackson’s other singles, “This Time” still resonated with fans and critics alike. The song itself did not reach the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, but it did receive positive critical reception. Jackson’s smooth vocals and the song’s relatable message continue to make it a popular choice for fans. “This Time” is also a popular selection for weddings and other special occasions due to its sentimental themes.
