Alan Jackson Gathers His Country Boys for CMT Giants

Posted: December 3rd, 2008 at 10:16 am | By: Craig Shelburne

Talk about a grand finale - Alan Jackson, George Strait, Brad Paisley and Dierks Bentley singing “Country Boy” together at the Ryman Auditorium. During an interview earlier this week, Bentley told me, “I’m glad there’s footage of it because just standing out there on stage with those guys was unbelievable.” The 90-minute special debuts on Saturday (Dec. 6). In the meantime, check out this star-studded version of “Country Boy.”

I really dislike this song. I love Alan, but this isn’te even close to a good song, even coming from him. I wish the finale had been something better. Disappointing, really.

LeeAnn,
If you dislike this song, then you really dislike Country Music!! Maybe you should consider listening to other types of music!!!

LeAnn sounds like your typical high maintance woman who just doesnt get it. Only country girls would understand this song.

Okay. So when is there going to be a George Strait Giant concert?????????? There is no bigger “Giant” in country music than him. He shouldve been the first one done.

the album cut is great, but oh my Gosh….this CMT version is off the charts, goosebumps on the arm, chills up the spine fantastic. How appropriate to have four of real country boys sing a song about being a county boy! I love it and will watch it over and over.

I love this song, I bought the CD because of it but seeing it performed on stage live with Brad Paisley, Dierks Bently & George Strait was fantastic! I play this video at least 3 times a day. I hope the CMT version comes out on dvd or cd or both really soon!

You don’t have to be a county boy or a county western fan to enjoy this song. It’s great!
