Jake Owen recently paid heartfelt tribute to country music legend Alan Jackson, who announced his retirement from touring. In a video shared on social media, Owen performed Jackson’s song “Job Description” from the 1994 album Who I Am, describing it as “one of my all-time faves of Alan’s.”
Owen reflected on his experience touring with Jackson and Brooks & Dunn in 2007, stating, “I’ll always remember that feeling of watching my heroes.” He added that the song holds new meaning for him now, as he continues to navigate his own journey in country music.
Alan Jackson, 66, performed his final road show earlier this month in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as part of his “Last Call: One More for the Road Tour.” He plans a “big finale” in Nashville next year, emphasizing the significance of concluding his touring career in the city where it all began.
This emotional homage underscores the deep respect and admiration within the country music community, as artists like Owen honor the legacies of those who paved the way.
