Jackson, with more than 30 No. 1 hits for over two decades , is a staple of country music , and on Friday, he showed why .
Not afraid to let the steel guitar sound shines with traditional honky tonk, Jackson performs music that still holds up today.
" The people, the fans of country music . Everybody treats us very well, so we're happy to be back ," Jackson told the crowd to loud applause .
Country Music of 1990 and 2000 , Jackson was one of the most remarkable - and one of the most memorable for me.
While driving to school , my mother would play country radio , dominated in the 90s by Jackson and colleagues . Jackson took to me as we all sing together , mom my brother 's hand except when needed to change.
That was the Jackson I saw at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa on Friday night , one that still reigns over country music and know what they want their fans.
Jackson used that position to explore a new sound with his latest album focused on the bluegrass genre , "The Bluegrass Album ," which should be among his best work. Emphasizes composition and pure talent as a musician.
But Friday was about to shock .
"Gone Country" , " Chattahoochee " and " Summertime Blues" , "Livin 'on Love," " Drive " and " Where were you ( When the world stopped turning ) " , Jackson showed his range of music dancing optimistic sentimental ballads.
Jackson played shorter than some of his greatest hits releases. With over 30 , it would be a challenge to fit them all - or even most - at a concert. Although sometimes left me wanting more , is a good compromise to give people what they want .
But Friday night , Jackson showed why he is on top in country music , although he remains Chasin ' that Neon Rainbow .
