Introduction
“That’d Be Alright,” released in December 2002, cruises down the highway as the closing track on Alan Jackson’s album “Drive.” While the album itself arrived in 2001, “That’d Be Alright” took its turn as the fourth and final single a year later.
The song wasn’t penned by Jackson himself, but rather by the trio of Tia Sillers, Tim Nichols, and Mark D. Sanders. Although not as widely known as some of Jackson’s other hits, “That’d Be Alright” offers a quintessential helping of country comfort food.
The easy-going track features the signature Alan Jackson vocals, delivering a message of contentment and acceptance. Lyrically, it paints a picture of a simple life, finding joy in everyday experiences. Whether it’s a rocking chair on the porch, a cold beer in hand, or the love of a good woman, “That’d Be Alright” celebrates the simple pleasures.
The music video, featuring clever use of past Alan Jackson videos like “Mercury Blues” and “It’s Alright to Be a Redneck,” adds a touch of lighthearted fun to the laid-back vibe. So, if you’re looking for a song to ease your worries and remind you of life’s little joys, “That’d Be Alright” might just be the perfect soundtrack for your next cruise down the highway.
