Turned out pretty well in the long run. With Alan Jackson dominating headlines this week as tickets for his star-studded final show in Nashville, Last Call: One More For The Road – The Finale, sold out just hours after the presale went live, all eyes have been on the “Chattahoochee” singer as of late. Of course, this is for good reason. Beyond being a celebration of the living legend’s four-decade career, the concert will feature the likes of Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Luke Combs, Riley Green, Cody Johnson, Miranda Lambert, Jon Pardi, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, Lee Ann Womack and more as performers along with Jackson. As we continue to celebrate the accomplishments leading up to his grand finale on Saturday, June 27, 2026, at Nissan Stadium, it’s hard not to take a look back at the songs that populate his illustrious career that allowed him to sell nearly 60 million records sold worldwide, receive 14 certified-platinum albums from the RIAA, win 22 ACM Awards, 17 CMA Awards and two Grammys and score 35 #1 hits (including 26 on Billboard’s various charts). With so many songs and hits in his discography, there was bound to be some disagreements when it came time to release singles, whether it was with his label, his management team or his wife of 45 years, Denise. And it just so happens that one of these songs was none other than his 2001 #1 hit, “Where I Come From.” In an interview with Bobby Bones on The Bobby Bones Show back in 2021, Jackson revealed that Denise typically had quite a bit of input on which songs he selected for album cuts and eventual singles, calling her a “good board” to bounce ideas off of. “My wife’s a pretty good board to bounce it off of. I just feel like I know when gut instinct tells me, usually, if it’s a pretty good song. I’m not always right. I’ve written a lot of things that I realize weren’t top shelf. Everybody does, and you don’t really know [until it’s written].” As previously mentioned, however, Denise was not a fan of “Where I Come From.” Actively pushing against the release of it as a single, the 67-year-old singer/songwriter noted that she thought the song was stupid, potentially due to the slightly cheesy, straightforward nature of the ode to southern living. “I wrote this song that she told me was stupid, and it went on to be a #1 hit, so you never know.” Luckily for Jackson, he went against Denise’s wishes, and released it as a single on July 9, 2001. Three months later, it would become his 18th #1 atop Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, staying there for three non-consecutive weeks in October and November 2001. It’s safe to say this is one of the rare occasions where actively going against your wife actually paid off in the long run. Nevertheless, it’s still a funny tidbit from the storied history of Jackson’s career.
