Description
The origin of Alan Jackson’s “Chattahoochee”: a river line from co-writer Jim McBride, a coming-of-age hook, four weeks at #1, and that iconic water-ski video in cowboy boots—plus CMA wins to seal it as a ’90s classic. #alanjackson
Quick story behind ‘Chattahoochee.’ Alan Jackson and songwriter Jim McBride were trying to write an up-tempo tune when McBride brought in the line ‘way down yonder on the Chattahoochee’—inspired by the river that runs along Georgia and Alabama. They wrote a coming-of-age summer anthem, dropped it in May 1993, and it sat at #1 on Hot Country for four weeks. The video? Jackson water-skiing in cowboy boots. It went on to win CMA Single of the Year (’93) and Song of the Year (’94)—pure ’90s country magic.”
