Good Time is the fifteenth studio album by American country music artist Alan Jackson. It was released on March 4, 2008 and produced five singles on the country singles charts. The first three of these — "Small Town Southern Man", the title track, and "Country Boy" — have all become Number One hits. This album marked Alan Jackson's return to the traditional country music roots.

Good Time debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, selling about 119,000 copies in its first week,[12] and was certified Platinum on February 16, 2010.[13]

Production

After working with Alison Krauss for his previous studio album, Like Red on a Rose, Jackson returned to Keith Stegall (who had produced or co-produced all of Jackson's previous albums) as his producer for this album.[14] Good Time is also the first album of his career on which Jackson wrote all of the material by himself.[15]

Singles

"Small Town Southern Man", the first single, was released in late 2007, and in March 2008, the song reached the top of the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, becoming Jackson's first Number One hit since "Remember When" in 2004. The album itself was released in March 2008.[16] Following "Small Town Southern Man" were the album's title track and "Country Boy", both of which became Number One hits as well. "Sissy's Song", a song which Jackson originally recorded for the funeral of his housekeeper, was released in March 2009 as the fourth single, and "I Still Like Bologna" was released in August as the fifth.
