Alan Jackson
High Mileage
Album · Country · 1998
To those seeking evidence of Alan Jackson's marital troubles with his wife, Denise (from whom he briefly separated in 1998 after almost 20 years together), look no further than High Mileage. Tunes like "Hurtin' Comes Easy" blend upbeat heartland rock with pleading romantic turmoil, while numbers like “Gone Crazy” find Jackson alone with his guitar, questioning where he went wrong. “I’ll Go On Loving You” even features a moody, spoken-word monologue, delivered as if Jackson were talking directly to his wife.
