Alan Jackson debuted the title track of his upcoming album, Angels and Alcohol, on the Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday. The affecting country weeper about the perils of hard drinking and the undeniable toll it takes on “a good woman’s love” is further proof that Jackson is the living embodiment of traditional honky-tonk pathos.
Introduced by Fallon, who enthusiastically noted the country superstar’s 60 million in album sales, the rarely demonstrative Jackson acknowledged the talk-show host, pointing an outstretched index finger toward the host’s desk and greeting him with a charming “Thank you, Jimmy” before launching into the performance.
