Alan Jackson’s Thirty Miles West arrives in stores and at online retailers on Tuesday (June 5th). The country superstar says he came up with the title of the new collection from “Dixie Highway,” a song he wrote for the album. “I wrote a song on [the album] called ‘Dixie Highway,’ and that’s the name of a highway that has been in existence forever now almost, but I think it runs from Michigan or something all the way down to south Florida, and it’s named that pretty much the whole way,” Alan explains. “Where I grew up was on Highway 34 there outside of Newnan, Georgia, and it wasn’t actually the official Dixie Highway. That’s where we came up with 30, I think I’m 30 miles west of the official highway that runs through Georgia that’s called the Dixie Highway.”
