“THREE GENERATIONS… ONE LITTLE VOICE… AND ALAN JACKSON COULDN’T HOLD BACK THE EMOTION.” What began as a simple performance of “Chattahoochee” quickly turned into something far more personal. Mattie Jackson stood under the lights singing the song that once defined an era of country music, while little Wesley stood beside her, shyly trying to keep up with every word.
