Alan Jackson and gators

Mike Sudhalter  |  February 20, 2008

I can't wait for the new Alan Jackson album, "Good Times", to come out March 4. I'm anticipating it to be a lot more country than his last release, "Like Red on A Rose."

If anyone's heard "Country Man" by Luke Bryan, you'll hear him brag that he can wrestle hogs and gators with his two bare hands. Is that a subtle dig at Florida and Arkansas, from the Georgia native?

Sometimes, I tell people that I can wrestle hogs and gators with my two bare hands. When, they're shocked or surprised, I respond, 'I didn't say I could win."
