Momma’s Pancake Breakfast? Check. Country Fried Steak? Check. Alan Jackson Rocking Chair? You betcha. 

Yes, now you can whet your appetite for good country cookin’ and good country music at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® with The Alan Jackson Collection, a 40+ piece assortment of lifestyle items created in conjunction with Alan and available only at Cracker Barrel beginning November 2.

The Alan Jackson Collection features menswear and womenswear, food items, collectibles, an Alan Jackson Signature Rocker and other exclusive items, including a CD.  <em>Songs Of Love And Heartache</em> includes two previously unreleased songs, “That’s What I’d Be Like Without You,” and “Nothing Sure Looked Good On You,” as well as 10 other songs, including such Alan classics as “Here in the Real World,” “Livin On Love,” and “Remember When.”  

The Alan Jackson Collection is the first time Cracker Barrel has developed a complete line of merchandise around a star. Alan didn’t just lend his name to the collection — he personally reviewed and approved all 40+ items and advised Cracker Barrel on what he thought might appeal to his fans.

“I grew up in the South, so Cracker Barrel has been a part of my family since I was a young man,” says Alan. ”I was really flattered when they came to me with the idea of working together to create a collection for their country store, and I’ve been very impressed with the variety and quality of the items that we have put together. I think my fans and their families will appreciate everything in the collection.”

At the centerpiece of The Alan Jackson Collection is the exclusive Alan Jackson Signature Rocker. It’s a solid hardwood rocker made of Dutch Spruce logs harvested in Maine and hand-assembled in Tennessee, with a Danish Walnut finish. It has oversized posts for durability and is nailed and glued at the joints for extra strength. Alan’s authentic signature is engraved in the headrest. Each rocker is numbered as part of a limited edition of 1,700.

If you don’t rock, you might check out the other items, including mugs, candles, decorative throws, jewelry, shirts, and hats that have been crafted out of materials favored by Alan such as suede, leather, and cotton.
