This album is marketed in a couple of other places as an Emmylou Harris album featuring Carl Jackson, which it is not. Most of the people who purchase those versions are expecting an Emmylou Harris album and are rightfully disappointed. This album forthrightly names Carl Jackson as its artist. I recommend the download wholeheartedly. Jackson is a very fine musician. Another Jackson album, "Songs of the South" displays both excellent vocals and his incredible instrumental ability. This album features only vocals but they are marvelous vocals. Jackson does not have a big voice. His is primarily a gentle voice which shows great passion. And his ability to deliver a line, while bending and squeezing the notes, is unsurpassed if not inimitable. In my old age I am more selective in my music purchases. I only buy albums that I am likely to play over and over again. This album, "Nashville Country" by Carl Jackson, is one such album. It's excellence is based not so much on the lines Jackson delivers but the way he delivers those lines. One does not tire of hearing such things. In addition, the supporting vocals are terrific and the combination yields one of the finest authentic country music albums around. It's a pity that the album has such a questionable history and has remained so obscure.
