Genius Annotation

“Chattahoochee” is the first track and the third single on Alan Jackson’s album “A Lot About Livin”. It was released May 17, 1993. The song was produced by Keith Stegal and was written by Jim Mcbride and Alan himself. In a recent documentary it was revealed that Alan had to fight with to release this record out.

“Jim McBride and I were trying to write an up-tempo song and Jim came in with the line ‘way down yonder on the Chattahoochee’. It kind of went from there. It’s a song about having fun, growing up, and coming of age in a small town – which really applies to anyone across the country, not just by the Chattahoochee. We never thought it would be as big as it’s become.”

          - Alan Jackson

“Chattahoochee” also received CMA awards for Single of the Year and Song of the Year.
